Popis: The European Union RACE (R&D in Advanced Communications technologies in Europe) and the future ACTS (Advanced Communications Technologies and Services) programmes have been contributing and will continue to contribute to world-wide developments in audio-visual services. Thepaper will focus on research progress in: S image data compression. Several methods of image analysis such as intelligent pre-processing,segmentation, motion estimation, disparity estimation, leading to the use of encoders based on improved hybrid DCT-DPCM (MPEG or not), object oriented, hybrid region/waveform or knowledge-based coding methods are discussed. . programme production in the aspects of 3D imaging, data acquisition, virtual scene construction, pre-processing and sequence generation, . interoperability and multimedia access systems. The diversity of material available and the introduction of interactive or near-interactive audio-visual services led to the development of pre- standards for Video-on-Demand (VoD) and interworking of multimedia services storage systems andcustomer premises equipment.Key words: Integrated Broadband Communications (IBC), programme production, 3D imaging, imagedata compression, MPEG, interoperability and multimedia access systems, DYB, DAVIC.
