This book provides a comprehensive examination of the use of
MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A standards, providing a
detailed reference to their application.
In this book, the authors address five leading MPEG standards:
MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A, focusing not only on
the standards themselves, but specifically upon their application
(e.g. for broadcasting media, personalised advertising and news,
multimedia collaboration, digital rights management, resource
adaptation, digital home systems, and so on); including MPEG
cross-breed applications. In the evolving digital multimedia
landscape, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the key
MPEG standards used for generation and storage, distribution and
dissemination, and delivery of multimedia data to various platforms
within a wide variety of application domains. It considers how
these MPEG standards may be used, the context of their use, and how
supporting and complementary technologies and the standards
interact and add value to each other.
Key Features:
* Integrates the application of five popular MPEG standards
(MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A) into one single
volume, including MPEG cross-breed applications
* Up-to-date coverage of the field based on the latest versions
of the five MPEG standards
* Opening chapter provides overviews of each of the five MPEG
standards
* Contributions from leading MPEG experts worldwide
* Includes an accompanying website with supporting material (href=’http://www.wiley.com/go/angelides_mpeg’>www.wiley.com/go/angelides_mpeg)
This book provides an invaluable reference for researchers,
practitioners, CTOs, design engineers, and developers. Postgraduate
students taking MSc, MRes, MPhil and Ph D courses in computer
science and engineering, IT consultants, and system developers in
the telecoms, broadcasting and publishing sectors will also find
this book of interest.
