Even though a little outdated, this book contains a lot of information on the different standard of image compression and video coding.
The introductory chapters are a little rough and probably not too useful to the newcomer. Even though I am familiar with the topic, I had to stay focused to go through the wavelet chapter.
Past the introductory material, the book go over the different coding standard in details. The material is easy to follow and provide some good insight about the different tool and techniques adopted by the different standards.
I found it to be a good balance between too much details and enough information to really understand what is going on.

Good book, this guy seems to know what he's teaching, I am not through with it yet. I think this book could be a great resource for a course that requires homework, assignments etc... For my personal research I could use a little more simplified book with more examples, but is a good starting point for researching the web etc...
