Description for Video Codec Design
Hardcover. Codec algorithms are used to encode and decode (or compress and decompress) data, such as video files, without distorting the visual quality of the decoded image. The key technologies of image and video coding are enabling a range of multimedia devices, systems and low bit-rate application. This book deals with this subject. Num Pages: 314 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: TJKV; UGV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 253 x 176 x 20. Weight in Grams: 680.
Video compression coding is the enabling technology behind a new wave of communication applications. From streaming internet video to broadcast digital television and digital cinema, the video codec is a key building block for a host of new multimedia applications and services. Video Codec Design sets out to de-mystify the subject of video coding and present a practical, design-based approach to this emerging field.
Featuring:
* Guidance on the practical design and implementation of video coding technology.
* Explanation of the major video coding standards, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.26L.
* Detailed coverage of key video coding techniques and core algorithms.
* Examination of critical design issues including transmission, Quality of Service and processing platforms.
* A wealth of illustrations and practical examples, including quantitative comparisons of design alternatives.
Video Codec Design provides communications engineers, system designers, researchers and technical managers with an essential handbook to image and video compression technology. The clear presentation and emphasis on real-life examples make this book an excellent teaching tool for computer science and electronic engineering instructors.

Reviews for Video Codec Design
This book deserves to be in every university library and it would be excellent as a course text. Also, if you have even a passing understanding of signal processing and want to know more, it's a great read
