Video Coding Basic Principle

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of basic video coding principles. It consists of five parts. The first part provides the concept of color spaces and the conversion among typical color spaces. In the second part, we describe the typical video formats used in video coding. The third part introduces the basic coding principle and the component of coding tools. The fourth part talks about the quality assessment of the videos briefly, and the last part concludes this chapter.
