Summary

This book describes the principles of image and video compression techniques and introduces current and popular compression standards, such as the MPEG series. Derivations of relevant compression algorithms are developed in an easy-to-follow fashion. Numerous examples are provided in each chapter to illustrate the concepts. The book includes complementary software written in MATLAB SIMULINK to give readers hands-on experience in using and applying various video compression methods. Readers can enhance the software by including their own algorithms.

Author Biography

K.S. Thyagarajan is Chief Scientist at Micro USA, Inc., where he has developed an extensive suite of image processing, detection, and classification algorithms for the detection of very low contrast targets underwater in littoral waters and open oceans. He is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at San Diego State University, and has extensive academic and industrial experience in researching and developing video compression systems. Dr. Thyagarajan's expertise lies in signal, image processing, image and video compression, pattern recognition, and communications. He holds several patents in video compression.
