  • H04N 19/4 using video transcoding, i.e. partial or full decoding of a coded input stream followed by re-encoding of the decoded output stream
  • H04N 19/44 Decoders specially adapted therefor, e.g. video decoders which are asymmetric with respect to the encoder
  • H04N 19/48 using compressed domain processing techniques other than decoding, e.g. modification of transform coefficients, variable length coding [VLC] data or run-length data
  • H04N 19/7 characterised by syntax aspects related to video coding, e.g. related to compression standards
