Description
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.
