Analysis and VLSI Architecture of High Definition and Scalable VideoCoding Standards

Authors: Liang-Gee Chen, Yi-Hau Chen
Publisher: Springer
Publication date: 2010-11-02
ISBN: 1441961445
Pages: 250
Price: $129.00

This book addresses the algorithm analysis and VLSI architecture of video encoders, especially for high definition and scalable video coder. The three design challenges and related system issues of memory bandwidth (including system memory and internal memory), hardware area, and power consumption (required operating frequency) are all discussed.  With the high definition encoder, the authors focus on algorithm modification and design parallelism to provide high processing capability for the video encoder. Several corresponding hardware schedules are also included to cooperate with proposed architecture. For scalable video coding, the emphasis is placed not only on video algorithms, but also on hardware performance. The algorithm modification, data reuse schemes from frame-level to candidates-level, and architecture design contribute in the developing of three scalabilities and first MCTF hardware design.  Finally, the first SVC encoder chip for HDTV1080p is presented and all above design issues are considered together.

Entropy Coders of the H.264/AVC Standard: Algorithms and VLSI Architectures (Signals and Communication Technology)

Authors: Xiaohua Tian, Thinh M. Le, Yong Lian
Publisher: Springer
Publication date: 2010-10-29
ISBN: 364214702X
Pages: 230
Price: $129.00

This book presents a collection of algorithms and VLSI architectures of entropy (or statistical) codecs of recent video compression standards, with focus on the H.264/AVC standard. For any visual data compression scheme, there exists a combination of one, two, or all of the following three stages: spatial, temporal, and statistical compression. General readers are first introduced with the various algorithms of the statistical coders. The VLSI implementations are also reviewed and discussed. Readers with limited hardware design background are also introduced with a design methodology starting from performance-complexity analysis to software/ hardware co-simulation. A typical design of the Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) encoder is also presented in details. To support System-on-Chip design environment, the CABAC design is wrapped with a SoC-based Wishbone system bus interface.

Describing how content delivery networks (CDN) function, it provides an understanding of Web architecture, as well as an overview of the TCP/IP protocol suite.

The book reports on the development of the technologies that have evolved over the past decade as distribution mechanisms for various types of Web content. Using a structural and visual approach, it provides step-by-step guidance through the process of setting up a scalable CDN.

  • Supplies a clear understanding of the framework and individual layers of design, including caching and load balancing
  • Describes the terminology, tactics, and potential problems when implementing a CDN
  • Examines cost-effective ways to load balance web service layers
  • Explains how application servers connect to databases and how systems will scale as volume increases
  • Illustrates the impact of video on data storage and delivery, as well as the need for data compression
  • Covers Flash and the emerging HTML5 standard for video

Highlighting the advantages and disadvantages associated with these types of networks, the book explains how to use the networks within the Internet operated by various ISPs as mechanisms for effectively delivering Web server based information. It emphasizes a best-of-breed approach to building your network to allow for an effective CDN to be built on practically any budget. To help you get started, this vendor-neutral reference explains how to code Web pages to optimize the delivery of various types of media. It also includes examples of successful approaches, from outsourcing to do it yourself.

Good overall coverage of CDN technology (2006-09-26)

Gilbert Held has covered many aspects of CDN technology right from the basics to implementation. While i was more interested in finding out vendor specific details i found that this book covers some but not all of it.
I still think it's a good reference for Systems Architects, Dev Leads and IT Operations folks interested in off-loading content for large-scale e-commerce web sites.

The H.264 Advanced Video Compression Standard

H.264 Advanced Video Coding or MPEG-4 Part 10 is fundamental to a growing range of markets such as high definition broadcasting, internet video sharing, mobile video and digital surveillance. This book reflects the growing importance and implementation of H.264 video technology. Offering a detailed overview of the system, it explains the syntax, tools and features of H.264 and equips readers with practical advice on how to get the most out of the standard.

  • Packed with clear examples and illustrations to explain H.264 technology in an accessible and practical way.
  • Covers basic video coding concepts, video formats and visual quality.
  • Explains how to measure and optimise the performance of H.264 and how to balance bitrate, computation and video quality.
  • Analyses recent work on scalable and multi-view versions of H.264, case studies of H.264 codecs and new technological developments such as the popular High Profile extensions.
  • An invaluable companion for developers, broadcasters, system integrators, academics and students who want to master this burgeoning state-of-the-art technology.

"[This book] unravels the mysteries behind the latest H.264 standard and delves deeper into each of the operations in the codec. The reader can implement (simulate, design, evaluate, optimize) the codec with all profiles and levels. The book ends with extensions and directions (such as SVC and MVC) for further research."  Professor K. R. Rao, The University of Texas at Arlington, co-inventor of the Discrete Cosine Transform

my point of view (2010-08-08)

There is nothing new compared to the old version.
It doesn't cover information in depth. If I want to study H.264, I think the book tell us less.
Acutally it can't help us understandard how H.264 works.
The only chapter worth to read is the chapter of "transform and quantization".

Great Overview (2010-08-08)

This is a very clear, well written overview of video compression particularly H.264. It should be accessible to anyone with a CS/engineering background without requiring significant knowledge of information theory.

The book is richly illustrated with diagrams that clearly show how the various prediction and artifact removal schemes work. These illustrations are often paired with images from test videos demonstrating the visual impact of the techniques under discussion.

Having just finished it, I now feel that I have some understanding of how H.264 works, how it is different and how it will likely evolve -- highly recommended.

Image and Video Data Compression using Spline and Quadtree: Applications of Spline and Quadtree in Data Compression

Authors: Murtaza Khan

Compression techniques have played an important role in the world of telecommunication and multimedia systems. We present two new techniques of video data compression. First technique is based on spline approximation of intensity variations of each pixel individually in the sequence of frames. This technique yields very precise control of accuracy. The second technique gives more consideration to achieve higher compression ratio, and applies fitting to group of pixels at correlated spatial locations in the sequence of frames. The second technique can be incorporated at the motion compensation stage of existing video coding schemes e.g., MPEG-1/2. For compression of synthetic image data, we presented a new hybrid scheme based on quadtree decomposition and parametric line fitting. This scheme consists of two phases. In the first phase, the input image is partitioned into homogeneous and non-homogeneous using quadtree quadrants decomposition. In the second phase luminance variations of are fitted using parametric line. The work of this book should be especially useful to students and professionals in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Telecommunication fields.
