This technology has deep roots in theories of vision, and promises performance improvements over all other compression methods, such as those based on Fourier transforms, vectors quantizers, fractals, neural nets, and many others. It is this revolutionary new technology that is presented in \u003cem\u003eWavelet Image and Video Compression\u003c\/em\u003e, in a form that is accessible to the largest audience possible. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eWavelet Image and Video Compression\u003c\/em\u003e is divided into four parts. Part I, \u003cem\u003eBackground Material\u003c\/em\u003e, introduces the basic mathematical structures that underly image compression algorithms with the intention of providing an easy introduction to the mathematical concepts that are prerequisites for the remainder of the book. It explains such topics as change of bases, scalar and vector quantization, bit allocation and rate-distortion theory, entropy coding, the discrete-cosine transform, wavelet filters and other related topics. Part II, \u003cem\u003eStill Image Coding\u003c\/em\u003e, presents a spectrum of wavelet still image coding techniques. Part III, \u003cem\u003eSpecial Topics in Still Image Coding\u003c\/em\u003e, provides a variety of example coding schemes with a special flavor in either approach or application domain. Part IV, \u003cem\u003eVideo Coding\u003c\/em\u003e, examines wavelet and pyramidal coding techniques for video data. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eWavelet Image and Video Compression\u003c\/em\u003e serves as an excellent reference and may be used as a text for advanced courses covering the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pankaj N.
