Riassunto:

A fully revised and substantially updated 3rd edition of the bestselling titles Video Coding: An Introduction to Standard Codecs (IEE 1999, best book of the year 2000 by IEE). This book discusses the growth of digital television technology and the revolution in image and video compression (such as JPEG2000, broadcast TV, video phone), highlighting the need for standardisation 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. This book gives an authoritative explanation of picture and video coding algorithms, working from basic principle through to the advanced videocompression systems now being developed. One of its main objectives is to describe the reasons behind the introduction of a standard code 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. This book would appeal to students and professionals with an interest or working in telecommunications.

Mohammed Ghanbari is Professor of Video Networking at the University of Essex, UK. He is best known for pioneering work on layered video coding, known as SNR scalability in standard video codecs. Prior to his academic career, Professor Ghanbari worked for 10 years in broadcasting. He has published more than 570 technical papers, registered for 11 patents and authored/co-authored seven books on video networking, many of which have had fundamental influence in this field. He has been founding Associate editor to IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, is on the advisory board of Journal of Image Communication and has been guest editor to numerous special issues on video coding. He is a Fellow of both IEEE and IET, as well as a Chartered Engineer.
