9780412087714: MPEG Video Compression Standard

Sinossi

Like JPEG, this second entry in the De Jure Standards Series aims to provide essential background in the form of hows, whys, and wherefores, plus the normative standard itself. MPEG, however, is far more controversial than JPEG with much larger user markets in television,radio,telecommunications,and computer communications of all sorts. Debate among proponents of competing standards has been lively but complicated by the psuedo-C format in which MPEG 1 is written. Relatively few MPEG experts have emerged even as more and more companies announce its adoption. This book includes an overview of MPEG and an introduction to more of the data compression concepts specific to MPEG, which are included because of their significance to MPEG data compression.

Recensione

`Ideal for an implementor to read in conjunction with the standards document, in which the code is not accompanied by comments...quite suitable for a text in video compression.
IEEE Spectrum, September 1997
`If you had a long airplane trip and wanted to learn about MPEG video, this book should be in your carry-on luggage. The book authors are experts in standardization efforts...the book itself is very well done.'
Journal of Electronic Imaging, April 1997
