The Practical Guide to MPEG 4 offers an up to date introduction to this important interactive and multimedia compression standard (including MPEG-4 Part 10), with real examples and information as to how and where this new technology should be used. All aspects of MPEG-4 that are relevant in today's technical landscape are described in this book, including video and audio creation, production, distribution, reception and consumption environment. This book explains everything you really need to know in jargon-free language: interactive systems, content management, deployment, licensing and business models.

Matrix theory is the lingua franca of everyone who deals with dynamically evolving systems, and familiarity with efficient matrix computations is an essential part of the modern curriculum in dynamical systems and associated computation. This is a master's-level textbook on dynamical systems and computational matrix algebra. It is based on the remarkable identity of these two disciplines in the context of linear, time-variant, discrete-time systems and their algebraic equivalent, quasi-separable systems. The authors' approach provides a single, transparent framework that yields simple derivations of basic notions, as well as new and fundamental results such as constrained model reduction, matrix interpolation theory and scattering theory. This book outlines all the fundamental concepts that allow readers to develop the resulting recursive computational schemes needed to solve practical problems. An ideal treatment for graduate students and academics in electrical and computer engineering, computer science and applied mathematics.
