Developing concepts from first principles

This book presents the fundamentals, properties, and applications of a variety of image transforms used in image and video compression.

It introduces popular image and video compression algorithms, including JPEG2000 and MPEG-2, and elucidates the definitions and properties of various transforms, such as the DCT and DWT.

The author discusses core image and video processing operations, such as filtering, color enhancement, and resizing.

He also focuses on other facets of compressed domain analysis, including editing, indexing, steganography, and watermarking.

MATLAB codes are included on CD-ROM.
