Features: This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and other individuals who work with multimedia data. From a practical application perspective, it first provides a brief introduction to the representation theory of multimedia data, and then elaborates on the commonly used multimedia file formats and compression standards in current scientific research and engineering. Our objective is not to make readers read the entire book cover-to-cover, but to serve as a reference that helps them in their work and studies, allowing them to easily consult relevant content and improve efficiency. Each chapter in the book is independent, introducing one file format or compression standard, covering four types of multimedia data—image, audio, video, and text—including formats and standards such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG2000, PSD, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVI, WAVE, MIDI, and PDF.
