Part I

Introduction to Video

Coding

This part gives an introduction to video coding. It contains two chapters.
Chapter 2 introduces some of the fundamentals of video source coding. It
starts by giving some basic de nitions and then covers both analog and digital
video along with some basic video coding techniques. It also presents the
performance measures and the test sequences that will be used throughout the
book. It then reviews both intraframe and interframe video coding methods.
Chapter 3 gives a brief introduction to video coding standards. The chapter
starts by highlighting the need for video coding standards. It then outlines the
chronological development of video coding standards, highlighting their main
techniques and targeted applications. The chapter then concentrates on H.263
(and its recent extensions: H.263+ and H.263++) and MPEG-4 as examples
of the state-of-the-art video coding standards.
