The application oriented part of the book employs the concept to ITU-T Recommendation H.263, and continues with the improvements by superimposed motion-compensated signals for the EMERGING STANDARDS ITU-T Recommendation H.264 & ISO/IEC MPEG-4 part 10. In addition, Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond discusses a new approach for wavelet-based video coding. This technology is currently being investigated by MPEG, to develop a new video compression standard for the mid-term future.
The theoretical part of Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond provides a deeper understanding of the underlying principles of superimposed motion-compensated signals. This book incorporates more than 200 references, summarizes relevant prior work, and develops a mathematical characterization of superimposed motion-compensated signals. The derived information-theoretic performance bounds permit a valuable comparison of the investigated compression schemes.
Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in computer science and engineering.
