Intelligent Image And Video Compression Av David (University Of Bristol Uk) Bull, Fan (University Of Bristol Uk) Zhang

<p><i>Intelligent Image and Video Compression: Communicating Pictures, Second Edition</i> explains the requirements, analysis, design and application of a modern video coding system. It draws on the authors'' extensive academic and professional experience in this field to deliver a text that is algorithmically rigorous yet accessible, relevant to modern standards and practical. It builds on a thorough grounding in mathematical foundations and visual perception to demonstrate how modern image and video compression methods can be designed to meet the rate-quality performance levels demanded by today''s applications and users, in the context of prevailing network constraints.</p><br><br><ul><li>An approach that combines algorithmic rigor with practical implementation using numerous worked examples</li><li>Explains how video compression methods exploit statistical redundancies, natural correlations and knowledge of human perception to improve performance</li><li>Uses contemporary video cod
