Overview
Multimedia Signals and Systems is primarily a technical introductory level multimedia textbook, including problems, examples, and MATLAB® codes. It will be a stepping-stone for readers who want to research in audio processing, image and video processing, and data compression.
This book will also be useful to readers who are carrying out research and development in systems areas such as television engineering and storage media.
Anyone who seeks to learn the core multimedia signal processing techniques and systems will need Multimedia Signals and Systems. There are many chapters that are generic in nature and provide key concepts of multimedia systems to technical as well as non-technical persons.
There are also several chapters that provide a mathematical/ analytical framework for basic multimedia signal processing. The readers are expected to have some prior knowledge about discrete signals and systems, such as Fourier transform and digital filters. However, a brief review of these theories is provided. Additional materialfor this book,including several MATLAB® codes along with a few test data samples; e.g., audio, image and video may be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com.
Synopsis
Seeking to explain multimedia signal processing with a minimum of technical detail, this textbook describes the core techniques and systems. It outlines key concepts and provides a mathematical- analytical framework for signal processing. Particular attention is given to compression techniques. The text assumes a familiarity with discrete time signals and systems, especially sampling theory, analog- digital conversion, digital filter theory, and Fourier transform. A companion CD-ROM features MATLAB codes and test data samples relating to audio, image, and video. Mandal teaches at the University of Alberta. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
