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.With this book you will learn: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical issues when implementing a codec, such as picture boundary extension and complexity reduction, with particular emphasis on efficient algorithms for transforms, motion estimators and error resilience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConflicts between conventional video compression, based on variable length coding and spatiotemporal prediction, and the requirements for error resilient transmission\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to assess the quality of coded images and video content, both through subjective trials and by using perceptually optimised objective metrics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures, operation and performance of the state-of-the-art High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0124059066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780124059061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.50w x 1.20d","brand":"David Bull","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112829137151,"sku":"9780124059061","price":90.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57fc2bc1-4e17-484f-abb2-c6918c07f3fb.jpg?v=1769611218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communicating-pictures-david-bull-9780124059061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
