Informationen zum Autor Iain Edward Richardson, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen Dr Iain Richardson is currently a Reader in video communications and also a Lecturer in digital communications, computer networks and digital electronics in the School of Engineering at the Robert Gordon University. His research interests include video compression and transport and multimedia networking. Dr Richardson is an experienced author, having written the books H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression: Video Coding for Next-generation Multimedia (Wiley, 2003), and over 40 conference and journal papers. He has also been working on the development of video compression systems since 1993, and now is a convener for the Image Communication Technology Research Group, at the Robert Gordon University. Klappentext Codec-Algorithmen werden zur Kodierung und Dekodierung (oder Komprimierung und Dekomprimierung) von Daten wie Videofilmen benutzt, ohne daß die visuelle Qualität des dekodierten Bildes beeinträchtigt wird. Bekannt sind zum Beispiel Codecs zur Konvertierung von analoger Videosignale in komprimierte Videodateien wie MPEG. Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt Ihnen einen Überblick über einschlägige Standards und Technologien, der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Fragen des Designs. Einleuchtende qualitative und quantitative Vergleiche von Systemalternativen werden anhand von Fallstudien vorgenommen. "...an excellent book...if you have any interest in the subject it is worth every penny..." (Visual Systems Journal, June 2002) Zusammenfassung 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.
