Bøger i Advances in Image Communication serien

Examines the definition, study and use of the wavelet transform in communications for two-dimensional (2-D) digital signals. This title introduces biorthogonal bases of compactly supported wavelets: this generalization of orthonormal wavelet theory allows the use of linear phase filters.

Part of the "Advances in Image Communication" series, this volume provides a comprehensive exploration of subband coding. It contributes effectively to the understanding of frequency domain coding techniques. It presents many images from coding experiments, enabling the reader to consider the properties of different coders.

Summarizes the advances in 3-D object recognition using examples of 3-D systems developed by leading researchers in the field. This work describes a complete object recognition system, and covers biological vision, sensing, and early processing. It is also of interest to those involved in implementing model-based object recognition systems.

Explores two complementary topics, namely: the coding algorithms made to compress the data rate of digital moving-picture sequences (video-telephony, television [TV] and high-definition television [HDTV]) and the transmission on Asynchronous Transfer Mode [ATM] networks (packet-switching transmission media).

Defines a syntax for a set of content-based functionalities, namely, content-based interactivity, compression and universal access. This book addresses the difficult problem of video segmentation, and the extraction and tracking of video object planes as defined in MPEG-4.
