Image and Video Compression Standards Algorithms and Architectures
Image and Video Compression Standards: Algorithms and Architectures by Vasudev Bhaskaran is a comprehensive resource published by Springer US on October 12, 2012. This softcover reprint of the original 2nd edition from 1997 spans 454 pages and is presented in English. The book introduces the algorithms and architectures that underpin various image and video compression standards, including JPEG, H.261, H.263, MPEG-1, and MPEG-2, while also touching on next-generation standards like MPEG-4 and MPEG-7.
Readers will find a thorough examination of the foundational techniques essential for understanding these standards, such as predictive coding, transform-based coding, motion estimation, and entropy coding. The text emphasizes practical applications of these algorithms and architectures, making it a valuable reference for graduate students, researchers, and engineers. It also serves as a useful resource for courses in software development, computer graphics, and technology engineering, providing insights into the efficiency of software and hardware implementations that adhere to these standards.
Official synopsis Publisher
New to the Second Edition:
- offers the latest developments in standards activities (JPEG-LS, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, and H.263)
- provides a comprehensive review of recent activities on multimedia enhanced processors, multimedia coprocessors, and dedicated processors, including examples from industry.
Image and Video Compression Standards: Algorithms and Architectures, Second Edition presents an introduction to the algorithms and architectures that form the underpinnings of the image and video compressions standards, including JPEG (compression of still-images), H.261 and H.263 (video teleconferencing), and MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 (video storage and broadcasting). The next generation of audiovisual coding standards, such as MPEG-4 and MPEG-7, are also briefly described. In addition, the book covers the MPEG and Dolby AC-3 audio coding standards and emerging techniques for image and video compression, such as those based on wavelets and vector quantization.
Image and Video Compression Standards: Algorithms and Architectures, Second Edition emphasizes the foundations of these standards; namely, techniques such as predictive coding, transform-based coding such as the discrete cosine transform (DCT), motion estimation, motion compensation, and entropy coding, as well as how they are applied in the standards. The implementation details of each standard are avoided; however, the book provides all the material necessary to understand the workings of each of the compression standards, including information that can be used by the reader to evaluate the efficiency of various software and hardware implementations conforming to these standards. Particular emphasis is placed on those algorithms and architectures that have been found to be useful in practical software or hardware implementations.
Image and Video Compression Standards: Algorithms and Architectures, emSecond Edition uniquely covers all major standards (JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.261, H.263) in a simple and tutorial manner, while fully addressing the architectural considerations involved when implementing these standards. As such, it serves as a valuable reference for the graduate student, researcher or engineer. The book is also used frequently as a text for courses on the subject, in both academic and professional settings.
