Description
Spectacular advances during the last decade have altered the related disciplines of computing and telecommunications beyond all recognition.
The developments in the"enabling technologies,"which have made these advances possible, have been less obvious to the casual observer.
The subject of this book is one of these technologies--the coding of still images and picture sequences (video).
Digital Compression
of Still Images and Video is general in approach and covers all the recognized coding algorithms; explaining their basic theory
in enough detail that the reader will understand the principles involved. Results which have been achieved with coding algorithms by
researchers in all parts of the world are also discussed. A brief historical review of the area is included to orient those new to the
field, and the work is supported by references spanning the period from the earliest work on time/frequency analysis, to the latest topic
of research interest--image sequence transmission using asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) techniques.
This book will make an excellent
reference for graduates and researchers working on image coding and transmission, and will also be of use to those in the related areas
of computer vision and multimedia developments. It is essential reading for the rapidly increasing number of technical and professional
staff in the industrial environment who, maybe for the first time, are coming to grips with image coding.
Audience
Graduates/researchers in image coding, data communications and those in AI specializing in vision. Also, professionals using image coding in wider and multimedia technologies.
