Abstract
The problem of video compression is a difficult and important one, and has inspired a great deal of research activity. Many digital video compression techniques have been developed and implemented. The compression ratios of these algorithms varies according to the subjective level of error, the definition of the word “compression”, and who is making the claim. Table 1.1 summarizes video compression techniques, their typical compression ratios reported in the literature, and their characteristics. In this chapter, we present an overview of the most popular compression techniques and Standards.
