About the Book:

The rapid development of products and services offering full-motion digital video suggests that, in the coming decade, digital video will greatly impact the computer, telecommunications, and imaging industries. To help readers ride the wave of the future, this timely volume provides, for the first time, comprehensive coverage of the principles of digital video processing, including leading algorithms for various applications, in a highly accessible tutorial style.

Digital Video Processing is organized into six comprehensive sections covering:

• Representation of digital video including modeling of video image formation and spatio-temporal sampling.
• Two-dimensional motion estimation.
• Three-dimensional motion estimation and segmentation.
• Video filtering.
• Still-image compression.
• Video compression.

The author carefully develops detailed treatment of the mathematical principles behind representation of digital video as a form of computer data and processing of this data for 2-D and 3-D motion estimation, digital video standards conversion, frame-rate conversion, de-interlacing, noise filtering resolution enhancement, and motion-based segmentation. In addition, Tekalp covers the fundamentals of image and video compression, and the emerging world standards for various image and video communication applications, including high-definition TV, multimedia, video-conferencing, videophone, and mobile image communications.
