Features: This book can be used as a textbook or reference book for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and engineering technicians in electronic information and computer application majors to learn image and video coding. The book systematically introduces the basic principles, algorithms, and international standards of still image and video sequence coding, divided into two relatively independent parts. The first part introduces various basic technologies that constitute image encoders, including entropy coding, quantization, prediction, transformation, motion compensation prediction, etc. These are the core technologies of most image coding international standards, among which Chapter 4 summarizes the main features of various image coding standards. The second part is dedicated to the discussion of wavelet transform coding technology, providing a detailed introduction to the principles of wavelet transform, the implementation of wavelet transform based on lifting methods, and a detailed analysis of various wavelet image encoders. It focuses on discussing EZW and SPIHT algorithms based on zero-tree structures, as well as EBCOT algorithms based on block technology. Chapter 9 introduces the basic encoder of the JPEG2000 standard, and Chapter 10 contains two special topics: the new international standard H.264 and video coding technology for mobile communications.
