Abstract

Measurements have been made of some basic statistical quantities characterizing picture signals. These include various amplitude distributions, autocorrelation, and correlation among successive frames. The methods of measurement are described, and the results are used to estimate the amount by which the channel capacity required for television transmission may be reduced through exploitation of the statistics measured.
