Digital compression of still images and video

the long version

Digital Compression of Still Images and Video is general in approach, and covers all the recognised coding algorithms, explaining their basic theory in enough detail to understand the principles involved, and discussing the results which have been achieved with them by research workers in all parts of the world. A brief historical review of the area is also included to orient those new to the field, and the work is supported by references spanning the period from the earliest work on time/frequency analysis, to the latest topic of research interest - image sequence transmission using asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) techniques.
