Features: The H.264 video compression standard is known as the next-generation video compression coding standard. Based on an introduction to the basic principles of digital video and video coding, this book discusses the characteristics of H.264, encoder principles, decoder principles, and implementation solutions for encoders and decoders. To help readers better understand H.264's encoding and decoding technologies, the book introduces the syntax and semantics of H.264 bit streams and provides a dedicated discussion on the quality of service (QoS) for H.264 video encoding and transmission. The book is characterized by its novel content and comprehensive coverage, with a focus on H.264 while also introducing several existing international video coding standards. It can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate students in communication and broadcasting television fields in higher education institutions, as well as for master's and doctoral students in this field for in-depth research. Additionally, it can be used as a reference book for a broad range of technicians in the video technology and video service domains.
