Abstract

From the Publisher:This practical,plain-English guide reviews JPEG,MPEG-1,and MPEG-2 N today's most widely used image compression standards N and presents an intriguing glimpse of other systems currently in development. From the fundamentals of the sampled images that form the actual input to any compression system to available compression tools and performance considerations,the material is clear,concise,and richly relevant. Each chapter covers the basics first,and then goes into greater detail,making the book easily accessible to readers at all levels of familiarity with the topic. DVD,switching transport,and audio compression schemes are also covered. Recommended reading for any video,audio,or broadcast engineer interested in maintaining transmission/storage quality or in more reliably diagnosing compression-related problems. Here's what every TV engineer needs to know about JPEG and MPEG!Digital television,Internet video,DVD,and videoconferencing; all require a solid practical and theoretical understanding of video compression options,both for storage and transmission. This guide,written by a video engineer for video engineers,gives you the expertise you need to stay on top in the field. It reviews JPEG MPEG-1,and MPEG-2\\=today's most widely used image compression standards - and presents an intriguing glimpse at other systems currently in development. From the fundamentals of the sampled images that form the actual input to any compression system to the available compression tools and performance considerations,the material is clear,concise,and richly relevant. Each chapter covers the basics first,and then goes into greater detail,making the book easily accessible to readers at alllevels of familiarity with the topic. MPEG transport schemes,switching of MPEG,and audio compression schemes are also covered. This practical guide will be helpful to any video,audio,or broadcast engineer interested in maintaining transmission/storage quality or in being able to more reliably diagnose compression-related problems.
