Abstract
In this chapter, we examine the ideas behind the MPEG standards, starting with MPEG-1, -2, and then MPEG-4, and 7. In MPEG-1 and -2, bidirectional search for motion vectors is introduced. Interlaced video and high-definition TV (HDTV) are supported in MPEG-2. Moreover, it supports various scalable codings such as SNR, spatial, temporal, and their combination. MPEG-4 and -7 studied the issue of video coding based on video objects. Although the visual object-based video representation and compression approach developed in MPEG-4 and 7 have not been commonly used in current popular standards such as H.264 and H.265, it has great potential to be adopted in the future when the necessary Computer Vision technology for automatic object detection becomes more readily available.

Notes
- 1.
MPEG-4 Part 10 which is identical to ITU-T H.264 AVC will be discussed in Chap. 12.
- 2.
The top left boundary node is defined as the one that has the minimum \(x+y\) coordinate value. If more than one boundary node has the same \(x+y\), the one with the minimum \(y\) is chosen.
