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.
