A substantially updated edition of “Video Coding: An Introduction to
Standard Codecs”, (IEE/1999) this book discusses the growth of digital
television technology and the revolution in image and video compression
(such as JPEG2000, broadcast TV, video phone), highlighting the need for standardization in processing static and moving images and their exchange
between computer systems. ITU and ISO/IEC standards are now widely
accepted in the picture/video coding field. This book gives an authoritative explanation of picture and video coding algorithms, working from basic
principles through to the advanced video compression systems now being
developed. One of its main objectives is to describe the reasons behind
the introduction of a standard codec for a specific application and its
chosen parameter. This book will enable readers to appreciate the
fundamentals needed to design a video codec for any given application
