In recent years there has been an increasing interest in Second Generation Image and Video Coding Techniques. These techniques introduce new concepts from image analysis that greatly improve the performance of the coding schemes for very high compression. This interest has been further emphasized by the future MPEG 4 standard.
Second generation image and video coding techniques are the ensemble of approaches proposing new and more efficient image representations than the conventional canonical form. As a consequence, the human visual system becomes a fundamental part of the...

"High-Quality Visual Experience" covers technologies that enables greater flexibility in video content representation, allowing users to access and interact with content from any device. State-of-the-art end to end architectures are presented, which enable high-quality visual experiences.
