a picture that is p redicted based on the previous picture
a Predicted frame which is based on the preceding I-Frame, and only includes the information that has changed from one picture to the next
a superset of the capabilities of an I-frame, and from the standpoint of compression efficiency, is preferrable to the I-frame because of the increased coding efficiency afforded by motion-compensation
a video frame encoded relative to the past reference frame
Predictive Frame - MPEG difference frame which looks to previous frames. Same idea as a QuickTime/AVI delta frame.
As a part of MPEG-2 decoding, P-frames are constructed by analyzing previous frames and estimating where objects will be in the next frame. The ability to predict where static and moving object will appear in successive frames provides superior adaptivity to motion in the picture. P-frames take up the least possible amount of bandwidth in transmission.
Used in MPEG compression, a predictive algorithm calculates P-frames taking into account information that is common among adjacent frames. The P-frame predicts the difference between the current frame and the closest preceding I or P frame. P-frame is used with I and B frame encoding.
Predictive frame of an MPEG sequence.
Predictive-coded frames. In MPEG video, a P-frame is encoded using data describing how its picture has changed from the picture in a previous I-frame or P-frame.
In MPEG terminology, a frame that is only reconstructed from preceding reference frames. It can also be a reference frame, as it serves to reconstruct other frames in some instances.
