H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression: Video Coding for Next-generation Multimedia

"Following on from the successful MPEG-2 standard, MPEG-4 Visual is enabling a new wave of multimedia applications from Internet video streaming to mobile video conferencing. The new H.264 ‘Advanced Video Coding’ standard promises impressive compression performance and is gaining support from developers and manufacturers. The first book to cover H.264 in technical detail, this unique resource takes an application-based approach to the two standards and the coding concepts that underpin them.

Presents a practical, step-by-step, guide to the MPEG-4 Visual and H.264 standards for video compression.
Introduces the basic concepts of digital video and covers essential background material required for an understanding of both standards.
Provides side-by-side performance comparisons of MPEG-4 Visual and H.264 and advice on how to approach and interpret them to ensure conformance.
Examines the way that the standards have been shaped and developed, discussing the composition and procedures of the VCEG and MPEG standardisation groups.

Focussing on compression tools and profiles for practical multimedia applications, this book ‘decodes’ the standards, enabling developers, researchers, engineers and students to rapidly get to grips with both H.264 and MPEG-4 Visual.

Dr Iain Richardson leads the Image Communication Technology research group at the Robert Gordon University in Scotland and is the author of over 40 research papers and two previous books on video compression technology.

Chapter One

Introduction

1.1 THE SCENE

Scene 1: Your avatar (a realistic 3D model with your appearance and voice) walks through a sophisticated virtual world populated by other avatars, product advertisements and video walls. On one virtual video screen is a news broadcast from your favourite channel; you want to see more about the current financial situation and so you interact with the broadcast and pull up the latest stock market figures. On another screen you call up a videoconference link with three friends. The video images of the other participants, neatly segmented from their backgrounds, are presented against yet another virtual backdrop.

Scene 2: Your new 3G vidphone rings; you flip the lid open and answer the call. The face of your friend appears on the screen and you greet each o ... read full excerpt from H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression: Video Coding for Next-generation Multimedia ebook
