growing range of markets such as high definition broadcasting,
internet video sharing, mobile video and digital surveillance. This
book reflects the growing importance and implementation of H.264
video technology. Offering a detailed overview of the system, it
explains the syntax, tools and features of H.264 and equips readers
with practical advice on how to get the most out of the
standard.
* Packed with clear examples and illustrations to explain H.264
technology in an accessible and practical way.
* Covers basic video coding concepts, video formats and visual
quality.
* Explains how to measure and optimise the performance of H.264
and how to balance bitrate, computation and video quality.
* Analyses recent work on scalable and multi-view versions of
H.264, case studies of H.264 codecs and new technological
developments such as the popular High Profile extensions.
* An invaluable companion for developers, broadcasters, system
integrators, academics and students who want to master this
burgeoning state-of-the-art technology.
"[This book] unravels the mysteries behind the latest H.264
standard and delves deeper into each of the operations in the
codec. The reader can implement (simulate, design, evaluate,
optimize) the codec with all profiles and levels. The book ends
with extensions and directions (such as SVC and MVC) for further
research." Professor K. R. Rao, The University of Texas at
Arlington, co-inventor of the Discrete Cosine Transform
