Preface

In the past decade or so, there have been fascinating developments in image and video compression. The establishment of many international standards by ISO/MPEG and ITU-T laid the common groundwork for different vendors and content providers. The explosive growth of the network, multimedia, and wireless is fundamentally changing the way people communicate with each other. Real-time reliable transmission of image and video has become an inevitable demand. As we all know, due to bandwidth and time limitation, highly efficient compression must be applied to the original data. However, lower ability of wireless terminals, network congestion, as well as network heterogeneity have posed great challenges on th
