Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond - The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science Markus Flierl Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2004 edition

Description for Sales People: This book captures recent advances in motion compensation for efficient video compression. The application oriented part of the book employs the concept of ITU-T Recommendation H.263, and continues with the improvements by superimposed motion-compensated signals for the EMERGING STANDARDS ITU-T Recommendation H.264 & ISO/IEC MPEG-4 part 10. In addition, Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond discusses a new approach for wavelet-based video coding. This book incorporates more than 200 references, summarizes relevant prior work, and develops a mathematical characterization of superimposed motion-compensated signals. Table of Contents: Preface. Acknowledgments. 1. Introduction. 2. Background And Related Work. 3. Motion-Compensated Prediction With Complementary Hypotheses. 4. Itu-T Rec. H.263 And Superimposed Prediction. 5. Itu-T Rec. H.264 And Generalized B-Pictures. 6. Motion Compensation For Groups Of Pictures. 7. Summary. Glossary. References. Index. Marc Notes: Originally published: Boston, Mass; London: Kluwer Academic, 2004.; The authors investigate linearly combined motion compensated signals, & generalize the well-known superposition for bidirectional prediction in B-pictures. The number of superimposed signals & the reference picture selection are important aspects of discussion.
