Book description
Last few years have seen rapid
acceptance of high-definition television (HDTV) technology
around the world. This technology has been hugely successful in
delivering more realistic television experience at home and
accurate imaging for professional applications. Adoption of high
definition continues to grow as consumers demand enhanced
features and greater quality of content. Following this trend,
natural evolution of visualisation technologies will be in the
direction of fully realistic visual experience and highly
precise imaging. However, using the content of even higher
resolution and quality is not straightforward as such videos
require significantly higher access bandwidth and more
processing power. Therefore, methods for radical reduction of
video bandwidth are crucial for realisation of high visual
quality. Moreover, it is desirable to look into other ways of
accessing visual content, solution to which lies in innovative
schemes for content delivery and consumption. This book presents
selected chapters covering technologies that will enable greater
flexibility in video content representation and allow users to
access content from any device and to interact with it.
Table of contents
Part I: Quality of visual information
Part II: Video coding for high
resolutions
Part III: Visual content upscaling
Part IV: 3D visual content processing
and displaying
Part V: Accessing technologies for
visual content
About this series
The series "Signals and
Communications Technology" is devoted to fundamentals and
applications of modern methods of signal processing and
cutting-edge communication technologies. The main topics are
information and signal theory, acoustical signal processing,
image processing and multimedia systems, mobile and wireless
communications, and computer and communication networks. Volumes
in the series address researchers in academia and industrial R&D
departments. The series is application-oriented. The level of
presentation of each individual volume, however, depends on the
subject and can range from practical to scientific.
