Abstract

A method of Discrete Cosine Transform compression of a digital video image. In the method the Field Variance and Frame Variance are calculated. When the Field Variance is less than the Frame Variance, Field Discrete Cosine Transform type compression is performed. Alternatively, when the Frame Variance is less than the Field Variance, then a Frame Discrete Cosine Transform compression is performed.
