The explosive growth of network, muldia and wireless technology is fundamentally chag the way people communicate, fueling demand for reliable real- transmission of image and video data.

This unique text/reference systematically examines the issues in distributed video coding (DVC) and multiple description coding (MDC), two novel techniques designed to address the problems of conventional image and video compression coding. The book bs with a state-of-the-art survey of the topic, before proposing new methods for improving the performance of image and video transmission using DVC and MDC. Covering all fundamental concepts and core technologies, the chapters can also be read as independent and self-sufficient, describing each methodology in sufficient detail to enable readers to repeat the corresponding expents easily.

Topics and features

Provides a broad overview of DVC and MDC, from the basic principles to the latest research

Covers sub-sampling based MDC, quantization based MDC, transform based MDC, and FEC based MDC

Discusses Sleplian-Wolf coding based on Turbo and LDPC respectively, and comparing relative performance

Includes original algorithms of MDC and DVC

Presents the basic frameworks and expental results, to help readers improve the efficiency of MDC and DVC

Introduces the classical DVC system for mobile communications, providing the developmental environment in detail

Researchers and eeers will find this book a useful reference on DVC and MDC technologies, and a guide for developing practical applications for DVC and MDC systems. The text will also be of interest to graduate students in image processing and signal processing.
