Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental theories of image coding, including visual and image quality, statistical properties of images, interpolation and motion parameter estimation, two-dimensional linear transformations, predictive coding methods, vector quantization coding, information-preserving coding, and rate-distortion theory. It also covers new research findings and development trends in the field of image coding, such as fractal coding methods and content-based image coding. As image coding standards have driven the application of image coding technologies, this book elaborates on the standards and developments in image coding. Additionally, it introduces new technologies and methods in image coding applications, such as streaming media, stereoscopic image coding, and information and error concealment. This book is suitable as a graduate textbook and an elective course textbook for senior undergraduate students, as well as a reference for researchers in related fields.
