Arbitrary slice ordering

Arbitrary slice ordering (ASO) in digital video, is an algorithm for loss prevention. It is used for restructuring the ordering of the representation of the fundamental regions (macroblocks) in pictures. This type of algorithm avoids the need to wait for a full set of scenes to get all sources. Typically considered as an error/loss robustness feature. This type of algorithm is included as tool in baseline profile the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder with I Slices, P Slices, Context Adaptative Variable Length Coding (CAVLC), grouping of slices (Slice Group), arbitrary slice order (ASO) and Redundancy slices.
