First sentence: Image and video data compression refers to a process in which the amount of data used to represent image and video is reduced to meet a bit rate requirement (below or at most equal to the maximum available bit rate), while the quality of the reconstructed image or video satisfies a requirement for a certain application and the complexity of computation involved is affordable for the application.
Description: "Image and Video Compression for Multimedia Engineering provides a solid, comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and algorithms of coding and details all of the relevant international coding standards.".

"With the growing popularity of applications that use large amounts of visual data, image and video coding is an active and dynamic field. Image and Video Compression for Multimedia Engineering is a first, comprehensive graduate/senior level text and a self-contained reference for researchers and engineers that builds a basis for future study, research, and development."--BOOK JACKET.
