    This section successively presents the techniques for coding video images, still images and textures, as well as computer-generated visual objects.

    2.1 MPEG video coding and MPEG-4 enhancements

    In the content of a video sequence, there are several types of information: recurring, predictable and unpredictable. Information that recurs or can be predicted is redundant information.
