High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC)... is a draft video compression standard, a successor to H. 264/MPEG-4 AVC(Advanced Video Coding), currently under joint development by the ISO/IEC [International Electrotechnical Commission] Moving Picture Experts Group(MPEG) and ITU [International Telecommunication Union]-T Video Coding Experts Group(VCEG). MPEG and VCEG have established a Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding(JCT-VC) to develop the HEVC standard. HEVC improves video quality and doubles the data compression ratio compared to H. 264, and scales from 320 240 to 7680 4320 pixels resolution. 1, record 1, English, - high%20efficiency%20video%20coding

Le domaine de l'invention est celui du codage et du décodage d'images ou de séquences d'images, et notamment de flux vidéo. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne la compression d'images ou de séquences d'images utilisant une représentation par blocs des images. L'invention peut notamment s'appliquer au codage vidéo mis en œuvre dans les codeurs vidéo actuels (MPEG, H.264, etc. et leurs amendements) ou à venir (ITU-T/ISO HEVC, en anglais «High-Efficiency Video Coding» pour codage vidéo à haute efficacité), et au décodage correspondant. 4, record 1, French, - codage%20vid%C3%A9o%20%C3%A0%20haute%20efficacit%C3%A9

The Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, CNES(French Space Agency) took a spectacular picture of the European ERS-1 satellite via SPOT 4, the most recent optical observation satellite in the SPOT family, which was launched on 24 March 1998.... From its orbit at an altitude of 820 km, SPOT 4 is able to pick out details of 10 metres on the Earth's surface, which is moving at a speed of 24, 000 km per hour. The ERS-1 orbit is 41 km below that of SPOT, which means that the latter can distinguish details of 50 cm in size on ERS-1. However, since ERS-1 flies much lower it flies faster than SPOT 4 and overtakes it with a relative velocity of about 250 km/h. 2, record 5, English, - optical%20observation%20satellite

ERS-1 parcourt une orbite qui passe 41 km sous celle de SPOT; cette proximité permet à SPOT 4 de distinguer sur ERS-1 des détails de 50 cm.
