METHOD OF REFERENCE IMAGE SELECTION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC H04N7/32 G06T7/20 

FIELD: physics, computing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of coding and decoding of a moving image. In the method, at least one reference image for the processing of the field macroblock is selected from at least one reference image list, using information about reference image indexes, each at least one reference image selected is a field, and the parity of at least one reference field selected may be based on the parity of the field macroblock and the reference image index information.

EFFECT: efficient provision of information about reference image compensating motion, by reference image indexes determined in different ways, according to the coded macroblock modes.
