Abstract

Direct current component coefficients resulting from an orthogonal transformation of a video signal are encoded with a precision, expressed in terms of quantization bits, which may be varied at each video sequence, group of pictures, picture, slice, macroblock or block portion of the video signal in accordance with a required picture quality. The encoded coefficients may be decoded in accordance with the precision used during encoding.
