  • the chrominance component is inferior to the luminance component in visibility. Accordingly, the conventional international standard video encoding system has been based on the premise that the amount of original information to be encoded is reduced by downsampling chrominance components before encoding is executed as mentioned above.
  • a 4:2:2 format for downsampling Cb and Cr components reduce the number of the components to half of that of luminance components only in a horizontal direction may be used.
  • color resolution in a vertical direction becomes equal to luminance, thereby increasing color reproducibility compared with the 4:2:0 format.
  • a format where the numbers of luminance and chrominance component samples are completely equal is called a 4:4:4 format.
  • the conventional 4:2:0 format has been limited to Y, Cb, and Cr color space definitions because of the premise of downsampling of chrominance components.

  • the 4:2:0 format has characteristics in color space definition that almost all pieces of structure information of an image is integrated into a (texture) luminance component, distortion visibility is lower for a chrominance component than for the luminance component, and a contribution to video reproducibility is small, and prediction and encoding of the high 4:2:0 profile are based on such characteristics of the 4:2:0 format.

When a bit stream is transmitted through a high error rate line, even if a certain slice is destroyed by an influence of an error to disturb a decoded image, a correct decoding process is restored from a next slice. Generally, in a slice boundary, prediction using signal dependence with an adjacent slice cannot be used.
