This book captures recent advances in motion compensation for efficient video compression. The application oriented part of the book employs the concept of ITU-T Recommendation H.263 and continues with the improvements by superimposed motion-compensated signals for the EMERGING STANDARDS ITU-T Recommendation H.264 & ISO/IEC MPEG-4 part 10. In addition Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond discusses a new approach for wavelet-based video coding. This book incorporates more than 200 references summarizes relevant prior work and develops a mathematical characterization of superimposed motion-compensated signals.
