Standard Codecs: Image Compression to Advanced Video
Coding by Mohammed
Ghanbari ISBN:
0-85296-710-1, 430 Pages,
June 2003

A substantially
updated edition of Video Coding: An
Introduction to Standard Codecs (
IEE, 1999, winner of
IEE Rayleigh Award), this book
discusses the growth of digital television technology and the
revolution in image and video compression (such as
JPEG2000, broadcast,
TV, video phone).

It
highlights the need for standardization in processing static
and moving images and their exchange between computer systems.
ITU and
ISO/IEC standards are
now widely accepted in the
picture/video coding
field.

The book gives an
authoritative explanation of picture and video coding
algorithms, working from basic principles through to the
advanced video compression systems now being developed. It
discusses the reasons behind the introduction of a standard
codec for a specific application and its chosen parameter.
This book will enable readers to appreciate the fundamentals
needed to design a video codec for any given application and
should prove to be a valuable resource for engineers working
in this field.
