METHOD OF SELECTION OF REFERENCE IMAGE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC H04N7/24 G06T7/20 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to the field of coding and decoding of moving image. The method of reference image selection for field macroblock processing consists of the following: definition of at least one list of reference images by using order of imaging, at that at least one list of reference images has information about indices of reference images; selection of at least one reference image for processing of field macroblock, from at least one list of reference images, by using information about indices of reference images, moreover, at least one selected reference image is a field, and evenness of at least one selected reference field is based on evenness of current image field macroblock and information about index of reference image; at that, if information about index of reference image represents even number of index, then at least one selected reference field has the same evenness of the field, that the field macroblock, and if information about index of reference image represents uneven number of index, then at least one selected reference field has evenness of field that is different from evenness of field macroblock.

EFFECT: improves efficiency of moving image coding with application of multiple reference images.
