Book description
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the use of MPEG-2,
MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A standards, providing a detailed
reference to their application.
In this book, the authors address five leading MPEG standards:
MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A, focusing not only on the
standards themselves, but specifically upon their application (e. g.
for broadcasting media, personalised advertising and news, multimedia
collaboration, digital rights management, resource adaptation, digital
home systems, and so on); including MPEG cross-breed applications. In
the evolving digital multimedia landscape, this book provides
comprehensive coverage of the key MPEG standards used for generation
and storage, distribution and dissemination, and delivery of
multimedia data to various platforms within a wide variety of
application domains. It considers how these MPEG standards may be
used, the context of their use, and how supporting and complementary
technologies and the standards interact and add value to each other.
Key Features:
- Integrates the application of five popular MPEG standards (MPEG-2,
MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MPEG-21, and MPEG-A) into one single volume,
including MPEG cross-breed applications
- Up-to-date coverage of the field based on the latest versions of
the five MPEG standards
- Opening chapter provides overviews of each of the five MPEG
standards
- Contributions from leading MPEG experts worldwide
- Includes an accompanying website with supporting material (www. wiley.

This book provides an invaluable reference for researchers,
practitioners, CTOs, design engineers, and developers. Postgraduate
students taking MSc, MRes, MPhil and PhD courses in computer science
and engineering, IT consultants, and system developers in the
telecoms, broadcasting and publishing sectors will also find this book
of interest.
