Watkinson J. The MPEG Handbook - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4
Издательство Focal Press, 2001, -244 pp., 1st Edition

This book completely revises the earlier book entitled MPEG-
2. It is an interesting insight into the rate at which this technology progresses that this book was in preparation only a year after MPEG-2 was first published. The impetus for the revision is, of course, MPEG-4 which is comprehensively covered here. The opportunity has also been taken to improve a number of explanations and to add a chapter on applications of MPEG.
The approach of the book has not changed in the slightest. Compression is a specialist subject with its own library of specialist terminology which is generally accompanied by a substantial amount of mathematics. I have always argued that mathematics is only a form of shorthand, itself a compression technique! Mathematics describes but does not explain, whereas this book explains and then describes.
A chapter of fundamentals is included to make the main chapters easier to follow. Also included are some guidelines which have been found practically useful in getting the best out of compression systems.
The reader who has endured this book will be in a good position to tackle the MPEG standards documents themselves, although these are not for the faint-hearted, especially the MPEG-4 documents which are huge and impenetrable. One wonders what they will come up with next!

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2000, -63 pp. During the last decade, CD-quality digital audio has essentially replaced analog audio. Emerging digital audio applications for network, wireless, and multimedia computing systems face a series of constraints such as reduced channel bandwidth, limited storage capacity, and low cost. These new applications have created a demand for high-quality digital audio delivery at low bit rates. In response to this nee...

Издательство Focal Press, 1994, -399 pp. When I set out to write The Art of Digital Audio some years ago, it was a goal that the book should, among other things, be a reference work and include details of all major formats and techniques. Progress in digital audio has been phenomenally rapid, with the result that it has been necessary to almost rewrite that book completely. The second edition has inevitably increased in size, and whilst it fulfi...

Издательство Focal Press, 2004, -451 pp., 2st Edition This book adds some material to the first edition which in turn completely revised the earlier book entitled MPEG- 2. It is an interesting reflection on the rate at which this technology progresses that these frequent revisions are necessary. Perhaps after H.264 one could say that all the key work has been done and thereafter progress will be incremental. H.264, also known as AVC, is, of cour...
