Abstract(in English) In H.264/AVC, the basic strategy of chroma motion vector is to introduce the exact parallel motion vector with luma vector. For this reason, the resolution of the chroma motion vector is just half of the luma vector, which is, 1/8 pel resolution. However, in the past H.264 Final Committee Draft(FCD) published in July 2002, if the reference field has a different parity from the current field in the field coding mode, chroma motion vector is always shifted by 1/4 pel from the ideal exact parallel motion vector. This means that the 1/8 pel accuracy prediction doesn't operate correctly. From these reason, this unintended chroma motion vector mismatch is inconsistent with the concept to define the exact parallel chroma motion vector by introducing the highly accurate resolution. By modifying the definition of chroma motion vector in order to form to be parallel to luma motion vector, BDSNR gain in chroma (up to 1 dB gain at the first bottom field of GOP) can be observed. In this papaer, we propose to modify the semantics of chroma motion vector calculation in order to improve the coding efficiency of chroma in the field coding mode.
