Abstract
A video signal comprising a successive series of frames is sub-band coded to derive a plurality of groups of coefficients for each frame. Each group of coefficients comprises a spectral representation of the video content of a respective portion of the frame, which portions are spatially decorrelated relative to the corresponding portions of the immediately preceding and immediately following frames to reduce block artifacts in the reproduced image.
