This work treats a number of critical topics in multimedia systems, with respect to image/video processing techniques and their implementations. These techniques include image/video compression techniques and standards, and image and video indexing and retrieval techniques. The book is divided into three parts. Part I serves as an introduction to multimedia systems, discussing basic concepts, multimedia networking and synchronization, and an overview of multimedia applications. Part II presents comprehensive coverage of image and video compression techniques and standards, their implementations and applications. Because multimedia data (specifically video and images) require efficient compression techniques in order to be stored and delivered in real-time, video and image compression is a crucial element of an effective multimedia system. In Part III attention is focused on the semantic nature of image and video source material, and how that material may be effectively indexed and retrieved. Topics discussed include static images, full-motion video, and the manner in which compressed representations can facilitate structural analysis.Part III concludes with an extended discussion of a case study.

This text brings together in one place contributions and up-to-date research results in this area. "Representation and Retrieval of Visual Media in Multimedia Systems" serves as a reference, providing insight into some of the most important research issues in the field.
