Contents:
The human visual system -- Discrete-time analysis for images and video -- Digital picture formats and representations -- Transforms for image and video coding -- Filter banks and wavelet compression -- Lossless compression methods -- Coding moving pictures : motion prediction -- The block-based hybrid video codec -- Measuring and managing picture quality -- Communicating pictures : delivery across networks -- Video coding standards -- Communicating pictures : the future.
Summary: "Communicating Pictures starts with a unique historical perspective of the role of images in communications and then builds on this to explain the applications and requirements of a modern video coding system. It draws on the author'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 in order to meet the rate-quality performance levels demanded by today's applications, networks and users."--bn.com overview
