Multimedia Signal Coding and Transmission

This textbook covers thetheoretical background of one- and multidimensional signal processing,statistical analysis and modelling, coding and information theory with regardto the principles and design of image, video and audio compression systems. Thetheoretical concepts are augmented by practical examples of algorithms formultimedia signal coding technology, and related transmission aspects. On thisbasis, principles behind multimedia coding standards, including most recentdevelopments like High Efficiency Video Coding, can be well understood.Furthermore, potential advances in future development are pointed out. Numerousfigures and examples help to illustrate the concepts covered. The book wasdeveloped on the basis of a graduate-level university course, and most chaptersare supplemented by exercises. The book is also a self-contained introductionboth for researchers and developers of multimedia compression systems inindustry.

Summary

This textbook covers the
theoretical background of one- and multidimensional signal processing,
statistical analysis and modelling, coding and information theory with regard
to the principles and design of image, video and audio compression systems. The
theoretical concepts are augmented by practical examples of algorithms for
multimedia signal coding technology, and related transmission aspects. On this
basis, principles behind multimedia coding standards, including most recent
developments like High Efficiency Video Coding, can be well understood.
Furthermore, potential advances in future development are pointed out. Numerous
figures and examples help to illustrate the concepts covered. The book was
developed on the basis of a graduate-level university course, and most chapters
are supplemented by exercises. The book is also a self-contained introduction
both for researchers and developers of multimedia compression systems in
industry.
