Ohm J.R. Multimedia Signal Coding and Transmission

Springer Heidelberg New York Dordrecht London, 2015. XI, 558 p. 232 illus. — ( Signals and Communication Technology) — ISBN: 978-3-662-46690-2, ISBN: 978-3-662-46691-9 (eBook).Self-contained, profound and systematic textbook
Focus is on coding of video and audio signals
Supplemented by homework problems, for which solutions availableThis 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.
