This book provides a comprehensive examination of the use ofMPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A standards, providing adetailed reference to their application.
In this book, the authors address five leading MPEG standards:MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A, focusing not only onthe standards themselves, but specifically upon their application(e.g. for broadcasting media, personalised advertising and news,multimedia collaboration, digital rights management, resourceadaptation, digital home systems, and so on); including MPEGcross-breed applications. In the evolving digital multimedialandscape, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the keyMPEG standards used for generation and storage, distribution anddissemination, and delivery of multimedia data to various platformswithin a wide variety of application domains. It considers howthese MPEG standards may be used, the context of their use, and howsupporting and complementary technologies and the standardsinteract and add value to each other.
Key Features:
* Integrates the application of five popular MPEG standards(MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A) into one singlevolume, including MPEG cross-breed applications
* Up-to-date coverage of the field based on the latest versionsof the five MPEG standards
* Opening chapter provides overviews of each of the five MPEGstandards
* Contributions from leading MPEG experts worldwide
* Includes an accompanying website with supporting material (www.wiley.com/go/angelides_mpeg)
