About this title

Synopsis

This book initiates a new digital multimedia standards series. The purpose of the series is to make information about digital multimedia standards readilyavailable. Both tutorial and advanced topics will be covered in the series, often in one book. Our hope is that users will find the series helpful in deciding what standards to support and use while implementors will d- cover a wealth of technical details that help them implement those standards correctly. In today's global economy standards are increasingly important. Yet until a standard is widely used, most of the benefits of standardization are not realized. We hope that standards committee chairpeople will organize and encourage a book in this series devoted to their new standard. This can be a forum to share and preserve some ofthe “why” and “how” that went into the development of the standard and, in the process, assist in the rapid adoption of the standard. Already in production for this series are books titled Digital Video: - troduction to MPEG-2 and Data Compression in Digital Systems.

From the Back Cover

For all those interested in high definition television, multimedia, and image compression, this unique reference will be an essential tool. It provides the first comprehensive introduction to this field, incorporating material ranging from basic concerns of newcomers to the field through sophisticated reviews of cutting edge technical issues. Written by acknowledged experts in the field, MPEG Video Compression Standard offers important benefits to readers including detailed information on MPEG modes of operation, signaling conventions, and structure of MPEG compressed data. Each section of the book is labeled by level of technical difficulty, allowing less technical readers to skip higher level sections and still gain a broad understanding of the subject while guiding advanced readers to the in-depth coverage they require. With its comprehensive coverage of MPEG video compression, this important book meets the needs of those working to develop the standard as well as those who use MPEG in their work. Electrical engineers, multimedia producers, computer scientists, as well as all those interested in this fast growing field will find MPEG Video Compression Standard essential in their work.
