Abstract
Compression coding is a key technology for the transmission and the storage of video signals. Several video compression coding schemes have been standardized by international standardization organizations such as ISO/IEC and ITU-T. MPEG-4 is the newest standard by ISO/IEC. It provides unique functionalities such as transmission-error resiliency for the Internet and the wireless network and multiple object-based video coding. In this paper, MPEG-4 video coding algorithm is briefly explained. Major applications, such as mobile video communication and Internet video delivery, are also introduced.
