H.265H.265, ou « MPEG-H HEVC » (High Efficiency Video Coding), est une norme de codage/compression vidéo ISO/CEI 23008-2 et UIT-T H.265, publiée le . Elle est développée conjointement par les groupes Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) et Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) et doit succéder au H.264 (ISO/CEI 14496-10 et UIT-T H.264). Ses applications concernent aussi bien la compression des vidéos en ultra-haute définition que la diminution du débit de transmission sur les réseaux pour les vidéos en définition standard avec des applications pour la vidéo sur mobile et pour l'extension de l'éligibilité aux services audiovisuels (TV, VoD.
Compression artifactA compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including , audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired or transmitted (streamed) within the available bandwidth (known as the data rate or bit rate). If the compressor cannot store enough data in the compressed version, the result is a loss of quality, or introduction of artifacts.
Lossy compressionIn information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content. The different versions of the photo of the cat on this page show how higher degrees of approximation create coarser images as more details are removed. This is opposed to lossless data compression (reversible data compression) which does not degrade the data.
