Synopsis
Image and Video Compression: Communicating Pictures, 2nd edition, gives a unique historical perspective of the role of images in communications before explaining the applications and requirements of a modern video coding system. It draws on Dave Bull's extensive academic and professional experience of signal processing and video coding to deliver a text that is algorithmically rigorous, yet accessible, relevant to modern standards, and practical. It offers a thorough grounding in visual perception, and demonstrates how modern image and video compression methods can be designed to meet the rate-quality performance levels demanded by today's applications, networks and users.
