Multimedia Computing

About this book

Humans are the best functioning example of multimedia communication and computing - that is, we understand information and experiences through the unified perspective offered by our five senses. This innovative textbook presents emerging techniques in multimedia computing from an experiential perspective in which each medium - audio, images, text, and so on - is a strong component of the complete, integrated exchange of information or experience. The authors' goal is to present current techniques in computing and communication that will lead to the development of a unified and holistic approach to computing using heterogeneous data sources. Gerald Friedland and Ramesh Jain introduce the fundamentals of multimedia computing, describing the properties of perceptually encoded information, presenting common algorithms and concepts for handling it, and outlining the typical requirements for emerging applications that use multifarious information sources. Designed for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, the book will also serve as an introduction for engineers and researchers interested in understanding the elements of multimedia and their role in building specific applications.

is 
a 
very 
good 
exposition 
to 
the 
nature 
of 
information 
both 
from 
a 
mathematical

from 
an 
evolutionary 
perspective 
of 
information. 
Current 
multimedia

have 
now 
evolved 
to 
the 
stage 
where, 
for 
the

time 
in 
history, 
those 
working 
with 
such 
systems 
can 
seamlessly 
combine
