Abstract
Abstract
One of the most significant progresses of multimedia research is video
coding and transmission. In the last two decades, many theories
proposed have been adopted in current standards. Recent developments
in multimedia technology and communication infrastructure contribute
to the emergence of the field of video coding. Video coding standards,
a form of multimedia communications, are designed for the purposes of
storage and transmission. Advanced video coding development and
standardization, for instance, have attracted many attentions over the
past decade. This talk first introduces the history of the development
of video coding standards. Next, the second part presents the newest
accomplishments, exchanges latest experiences, and explores future
directions in this important and evolving field. This talk then
concludes with research prospectus in multimedia communication
related fields.
