| Video compression coding is the enabling technology behind a new wave of communication applications. From streaming internet video to broadcast digital television and digital cinema, the video codec is a key building block for a host of new multimedia applications and services. Video Codec Design sets out to de-mystify the subject of video coding and present a practical, design-based approach to this emerging field.
Featuring:
- Guidance on the practical design and implementation of video coding technology.
- Explanation of the major video coding standards, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.26L.
- Detailed coverage of key video coding techniques and core algorithms.
- Examination of critical design issues including transmission, Quality of Service and processing platforms.
- A wealth of illustrations and practical examples, including quantitative comparisons of design alternatives.
Video Codec Design provides communications engineers, system designers, researchers and technical managers with an essential handbook to image and video compression technology. The clear presentation and emphasis on real-life examples make this book an excellent teaching tool for computer science and electronic engineering instructors. |

Selected Systems from Co-Fe-Si to Cu-Fe-Pt
Volume 11 of group IV presents phase diagrams, crystallographic and thermodynamic data of ternary alloy systems. The subvolume D deals with iron systems, with part 3 considering selected systems from Co-Fe-Si to Cu-Fe-Pt. At ambient pressure the equilibria of each individual ternary system are discussed as functions of temperature yielding... | | Introducing ZBrushLearn to sculpt detailed, lush, organic models with the hottest tool on the 3D market - ZBrush - and this step-by-step guide.

Engineering graphics is the process of defining an object graphically before it is
constructed and used by consumers. Previously, this process for producing a drawing
involved the use of drawing aids such as pencils, ink pens, triangles, T-squares, and so
forth to place an idea on paper before making changes and producing blue-line... |
