Techniques and Standards for Image, Video, and Audio Coding (1996) Front Cover Book Details Author K. R. Rao J. J. Hwang Genre Coding Theory; Image Processing; Information Theory Subject Coding Theory; Digital Audio; Digital video; Information Theory; Signal processing - Digital techniques; Coding theory - Standards; Image processing - Digital techniques Publication Date 1996 Format Hardcover (240 x 185 mm) Publisher Prentice Hall PTR Language English Plot From Book News, Inc. A response to the need for faster and faster images, synthesizing the methods and standards available in transmission and storage compression and coding. Rao and Hwang developed their material in electrical engineering and computer science graduate courses and have compiled in one volume the theoretical components of image compressing, the main techniques for encoding images and sound, application methods (predictive, transform, hybrid coding, motion compensation, vector quantization, subband coding), and then relate these technique to international standards. The appendices feature an extended bibliography containing Internet resources. Includes illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. From the Publisher As audio and visual applications on CDs and on the Internet become more complex (videophones, multimedia books and videogames, video conferencing), coding and compression of these files is necessary for speed and size requirements. This book is the first to address the established and emerging international standards related to image/video/audio compression and coding. Covers all of the international standards for coding and compression, both approved and emerging, plus the latest coding and compression techniques, concepts, and principles. For engineers and software developers working in multimedia, communications, and networking. Table of Contents 1. Introduction. I. DIGITAL CODING TECHNIQUES. 2. Color Formats. 3. Quantization. 4.
