Description

Hardback. New. Codec algorithms are used to encode and decode (or compress and decompress) data, such as video files, without distorting the visual quality of the decoded image. The key technologies of image and video coding are enabling a range of multimedia devices, systems and low bit-rate application. This book deals with this subject.

Reader reviews for Video Codec Design: Developing Image and Video Compression Systems

From the publisher

Codec-Algorithmen werden zur Kodierung und Dekodierung (oder Komprimierung und Dekomprimierung) von Daten wie Videofilmen benutzt, ohne da die visuelle Qualitt des dekodierten Bildes beeintrchtigt wird. Bekannt sind zum Beispiel Codecs zur Konvertierung von analoger Videosignale in komprimierte Videodateien wie MPEG. Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt Ihnen einen berblick ber einschlgige Standards und Technologien, der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Fragen des Designs. Einleuchtende qualitative und quantitative Vergleiche von Systemalternativen werden anhand von Fallstudien vorgenommen.

From the rear cover

Video compression coding is the enabling technology behind a new wave of communication applications. From streaming internet video to broadcast digital television and digital cinema, the video codec is a key building block for a host of new multimedia applications and services. Video Codec Design sets out to de-mystify the subject of video coding and present a practical, design-based approach to this emerging field.

Featuring:

  • Guidance on the practical design and implementation of video coding technology.
  • Explanation of the major video coding standards, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.26L.
  • Detailed coverage of key video coding techniques and core algorithms.
  • Examination of critical design issues including transmission, Quality of Service and processing platforms.
  • A wealth of illustrations and practical examples, including quantitative comparisons of design alternatives.

Video Codec Design provides communications engineers, system designers, researchers and technical managers with an essential handbook to image and video compression technology. The clear presentation and emphasis on real-life examples make this book an excellent teaching tool for computer science and electronic engineering instructors.
