ABSTRACT:
Techniques and tools for intensity compensation for interlaced forward-predicted fields are described. For example, a video decoder receives and decodes a variable length code that indicates which of two reference fields for an interlaced forward-predicted field use intensity compensation (e.g., both, only the first, or only the second). The decoder performs intensity compensation on each of the two reference fields that uses intensity compensation. A video encoder performs corresponding intensity estimation/compensation and signaling.
