I strongly reccomend it to those who study video processing and Digital Media.
grasping issues related to digital video acquisition, processing, analysis and compression.
This book helped me greatly in understanding correctly these topics and grasping
concepts like motion estimation, noise filtering, transform-based video compression.
The chapters on video and TV standards, like MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7 and
DVB, ATSC, ISDB, DIMB were very useful as well.
The book is the ideal introduction to digital video and TV to be used in developing
digital media tools and applications e.g. for web environments.
related to digital video and television. It has no math and I found it very easy to understand.
It covers the entire video production and distribution chain from image/video shooting
to video processing, postproduction, compression and broadcasting.
New topics are of special interest: like 3DTV and digital cinema.
It is ideal for university and college students specializing on digital media, TV,
multimedia, web design, signal/image/video processing, graphics
coming either from the creative or the technical side.
