E-raamat: Compressed Video Over Networks

Thirteen chapters explain the compression of digital video for transport over networks as required for the design of end-to-end systems. The first two chapters cover compressed video fundamentals and standards, specifically the H-series and MPEG video coding standards. The second section reviews the fundamentals of three different networks IP-based, wireless and ATM networks and focuses on aspects that impact the transport of compressed video. Part three reviews issues and techniques related to the transport of compressed video over generic networks. These chapters treat error concealment, layered coding, error resilience coding, variable bit rate coding, and the use of feedback of rate and loss information. The last three chapters discuss the transport of compressed video over the internet and wireless networks, and the ITU-T and DAVIC systems standards for videophone and videoconferencing.

This volume details the essential elements for designing optimal end-to-end systems. It progresses from the fundamentals of both video compression and networking technologies to an extensive summary of the constant and continuous interaction between the fields. The work seeks to respond to the proliferation of networked digital video applications in daily life with in-depth analyses of technical problems and solutions.
