Measurements have been made of some basic statistical quantities characterizing picture signals. These include various amplitude distributions, autocorrelation, and correlation among successive frames. The methods of measurement are described, and the results are used to estimate the amount by which the channel capacity required for television transmission may be reduced through exploitation of the statistics measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
