Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

The MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards are now at a relatively mature stage. At the same time, new implementations of MPEG-4 are still on the rise, especially using H.264/AVC. Both ATSC and DVB-T support ...

Image compression is an essential technique for efficient transmission and storage of images. The demands for transmission and storage of multimedia data are increasing exponentially. A gray scale ...

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

I'd like to call it H.265, because it sounds cool, but its full name is High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). It's the new successor to Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also known as H.264, which is one of ...

The adoption of digital video in many applications has been fuelled by the development of many video coding standards, which have emerged targeting different application areas. These standards provide ...
