It focuses on giving the reader mastery over the concepts, methods and metrics of digital video coding, so that readers have sufficient understanding to choose and tune coding parameters for optimum results that would suit their particular needs for quality, compression, speed and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical aspects are many: Uploading video to the Internet is only the beginning of a trend where a consumer controls video quality and speed by trading off various other factors. Open source and proprietary applications such as video e-mail, private party content generation, editing and archiving, and cloud asset management would give further control to the end-user.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigital video is frequently compressed and coded for easier storage and transmission. This process involves visual quality loss due to typical data compression techniques and requires use of high performance computing systems. A careful balance between the amount of compression, the visual quality loss and the coding speed is necessary to keep the total system cost down, while delivering a good user experience for various video applications. At the same time, power consumption optimizations are also essential to get the job done on inexpensive consumer platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrade-offs can be made among these factors, and relevant considerations are particularly important in resource-constrained low power devices. To better understand the trade-offs this book discusses a comprehensive set of engineering principles, strategies, methods and metrics. It also exposes readers to approaches on how to differentiate and rank video coding solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCost-benefit analysis of compression techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo quality metrics evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerformance and power optimization and measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrade-off analysis among power, performance, and visual quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmerging uses and applications of video technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is for anyone involved in designing, developing, validating, deploying, and reviewing systems and applications that deal with digital video.
