H.264/AVC, the result of the collaboration between the ISO/IECMoving Picture Experts Group and the ITU-T Video CodingExperts Group, is the latest standard for video coding. The goalsof this standardization effort were enhanced compression efficiency, network friendly video representation for interactive (video telephony) and non-interactive applications (broadcast, streaming, storage, video on demand). H.264/AVC providesgains in compression efficiency of up to 50 over a wide rangeof bit rates and video resolutions compared to previous standards . Compared to previous standards, the decoder complexityis about four times that of MPEG-2 and two times that ofMPEG-4 Visual Simple Profile. This paper provides an overviewof the new tools, features and complexity of H.264/AVC.
