Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental 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 core technologies for most image coding international standards, with Chapter 4 summarizing 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 comprehensive 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, while Chapter 10 includes two special topics: the new international standard H.264 and video coding technology for mobile communications. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as engineering professionals in electronic information and computer application fields to study image and video coding.
