Want a glimpse into the future of image communication? Take a look at this book. While there are many books on wavelets, most cover more theory than application. This book focuses on the single biggest application of wavelet technology - image/video compression - and delivers what is a very easy yet refreshing introduction to the whole subject. This is followed by an in depth review of the state of the art in wavelet image and video compression, written by leading researchers in the field. It is imaginative and well-focused, and will be valuable to both researchers and students alike.

Provides an excellent account of image and video compression in general as well as the motivation and techniques for useing wavelets to provide good PSNR at low bit rates. Also explains the techniques for achieving coders that can be terminated at any point yet with minimal distortion. This book includes both theoretical and practical basis for the techniques described.
