Intra-frame coding is used in video coding (compression). It is part of an intra-frame codec like ProRes: a group of pictures codec with inter frames.
The term intra-frame coding refers to the fact that the various lossless and lossy compression techniques are performed relative to information that is contained only within the current frame, and not relative to any other frame in the video sequence. In other words, no temporal processing is performed outside of the current picture or frame. Non-intra coding techniques are extensions to these basics. It turns out that this block diagram is very similar to that of a JPEG still image video encoder, with only slight implementation detail differences.
Inter frame has been specified by the CCITT in 1988-1990 by H.261 for the first time. H.261 was meant for teleconferencing and ISDN telephoning.
