In addition, the book covers the MPEG and Dolby AC-3 audio encoding  standards, as well as emerging techniques for image and video  compression, such as those based on wavelets and vector quantization.  \u003cbr\u003e  The book emphasizes the foundations of these standards, i.e.  techniques such as predictive coding, transform-based coding, motion  compensation, and entropy coding, as well as how they are applied in  the standards. How each standard is implemented is not dealt with, but  the book does provide all the material necessary to understand the  workings of each of the compression standards, including information  that can be used to evaluate the efficiency of various software and  hardware implementations conforming to the 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\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e A valuable reference for the graduate student,  researcher or engineer.
