Video compression coding is the enabling technology behind a newwave of communication applications. From streaming internet videoto broadcast digital television and digital cinema, the video codecis a key building block for a host of new multimedia applicationsand services. Video Codec Design sets out to de-mystify the subjectof video coding and present a practical, design-based approach tothis emerging field.
Featuring:
* Guidance on the practical design and implementation of videocoding technology.
* Explanation of the major video coding standards, includingMPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.26L.
* Detailed coverage of key video coding techniques and corealgorithms.
* Examination of critical design issues including transmission,Quality of Service and processing platforms.
* A wealth of illustrations and practical examples, includingquantitative comparisons of design alternatives.
Video Codec Design provides communications engineers, systemdesigners, researchers and technical managers with an essentialhandbook to image and video compression technology. The clearpresentation and emphasis on real-life examples make this book anexcellent teaching tool for computer science and electronicengineering instructors.

This book deserves to be in every university library and it would be excellent as a course text. Also, if you have even a passing understanding of signal processing and want to know more, it's a great read--VISUAL SYSTEMS JOURNAL, JUNE 2002
