Still Image and Video Compression with MATLAB

K.S. Thyagarajan is Chief Scientist at Micro USA, Inc., where he has developed an extensive suite of image processing, detection, and classification algorithms for the detection of very low contrast targets underwater in littoral waters and open oceans. He is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at San Diego State University, and has extensive academic and industrial experience in researching and developing video compression systems. Dr. Thyagarajan's expertise lies in signal, image processing, image and video compression, pattern recognition, and communications. He holds several patents in video compression.
