| Multimedia hardware still cannot accommodate the demand for large amounts of visual data. Without the generation of high-quality video bitstreams, limited hardware capabilities will continue to stifle the advancement of multimedia technologies. Thorough grounding in coding is needed so that applications such as MPEG-4 and JPEG 2000 may come to fruition.
Image and Video Compression for Multimedia Engineering provides a solid, comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and algorithms that lead to the creation of new methods for generating high quality video bit streams. The authors present a number of relevant advances along with international standards.
New to the Second Edition
A chapter describing the recently developed video coding standard, MPEG-Part 10 Advances Video Coding also known as H.264
Fundamental concepts and algorithms of JPEG2000
Color systems of digital video
Up-to-date video coding standards and profiles
Visual data, image, and video coding will continue to enable the creation of advanced hardware, suitable to the demands of new applications. Covering both image and video compression, this book yields a unique, self-contained reference for practitioners tobuild a basis for future study, research, and development.

 Pro JavaScript for Web Apps
Client-side web app development has always been the poor cousin to server-side coding. This started
because browsers and the devices they run on have been less capable than enterprise-class servers. To
provide any kind of serious web app functionality, the server had to do all of the heavy lifting for the
browsers, which was pretty... | | Artificial Intelligence in Health: First International Workshop, AIH 2018, Stockholm, Sweden, July 13-14, 2018, Revised Selected Papers (Lecture Notes in Computer Science (11326))
