Multi-Frame Motion-Compensated Prediction for VideoTransmission presents a comprehensive description of a newtechnique in video coding and transmission. The work presented in thebook has had a very strong impact on video coding standards and willbe of interest to practicing engineers and researchers as well asacademics.The multi-frame technique and the Lagrangian coder control have beenadopted by the ITU-T as an integral part of the well known H.263standard and are were adopted in the ongoing H.26L project of theITU-T Video Coding Experts Group.This work will interest researchers and students in the field of videocoding and transmission. Moreover, engineers in the field will also beinterested since an integral part of the well known H.263 standard isbased on the presented material.
