Abstract
A method is provided for coding an image sequence, including splitting a current image into blocks of standard size, termed macroblocks. For at least one current macroblock of the current image, the method further includes: constructing at least one block of greater size than the current macroblock, termed a large block, which includes the current macroblock and at least one neighbor macroblock in the current image, taking account of characteristics of the current image; coding the large block, delivering base coding information, making it possible to reconstruct a base layer of said current image, and for at least one large block, determining enhancement information associated with at least one macroblock present in the large block.
