The next generation of  audiovisual coding standards, such as MPEG-4 and MPEG-7, are also  briefly described. In addition, the book covers the MPEG and Dolby  AC-3 audio coding standards and emerging techniques for image and  video compression, such as those based on wavelets and vector  quantization. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eImage and Video Compression Standards: Algorithms and  Architectures,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/em\u003e emphasizes the foundations of  these standards; namely, techniques such as predictive coding,  transform-based coding such as the discrete cosine transform (DCT),  motion estimation, motion compensation, and entropy coding, as well as  how they are applied in the standards. The implementation details of  each standard are avoided; however, the book provides all the material  necessary to understand the workings of each of the compression  standards, including information that can be used by the reader to  evaluate the efficiency of various software and hardware  implementations conforming to these standards. Particular emphasis is  placed on those algorithms and architectures that have been found to  be useful in practical software or hardware implementations. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eImage and Video Compression Standards: Algorithms and  Architectures,\u003cem\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/em\u003e uniquely covers all major  standards (JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.261, H.263) in a simple and  tutorial manner, while fully addressing the architectural  considerations involved when implementing these standards. As such, it  serves as a valuable reference for the graduate student, researcher or  engineer. The book is also used frequently as a text for courses on  the subject, in both academic and professional settings. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461378426\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6199-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 454.0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358981255308,"sku":"9781461378426","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461378426.jpg?v=1767147583","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461378426","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
