8 PREFACE 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 encoding/decoding chain. More insight to distinguish between First and Second Generation can be gained if it is noticed that image and video coding is basically carried out in two steps. First, image data are converted into a sequence of messages and, second, code words are assigned to the messages. Methods of the First Generation put the emphasis on the second step, whereas methods of the Second Generation put it on the first step and use available results for the second step. As a result of including the human visual system, Second Generation can be also seen as an approach of seeing the image composed by different entities called objects. This implies that the image or sequence of images have first to be analyzed and/or segmented in order to find the entities. It is in this context that we have selected in this book three main approaches as Second Generation video coding techniques: Segmentation-based schemes Model-based schemes Fractal-based schemes We have compiled the necessary information to further facilitate developments in this exciting field. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subsequent technical chapters. Furthermore, a self-contained chapter is included which covers the basic concepts of image and video coding and describes the existing standards. This will assist the reader in understanding the evolution from First Generation to Second Generation schemes. ix

10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are indebted to many people who have contributed one way or the other to this book. In the first place we want to thank all the authors of the chapters for their outstanding work, and for suffering the red pencil of the often too tough and picky editors. We also believe that the ideas contained in this book are the fruits of the work of many people, too many to mention here, who in recent years have contributed to many journal papers and conferences to disseminate new image and video coding techniques. We are also thankful to the Directorate General XIII of the European Union for their support through the RACE and ACTS projects that have greatly contributed to the advances in this new field. Within this Directorate, special thanks go to Eric Badique for his continual belief in what some people occasionally refer to as, "exotic video coding techniques". We are also indebted to Mike Casey, acquisitions editor of Kluwer Academic Publishers, for the help provided while editing and compiling this book. Carlos Nistal from UPC, has provided all the computer support needed to handle and solve the variety of problems that have arisen in the electronic editing of this book. Our final debt of gratitude is to ours wives, Merce and Jocelyne, for their support during the last twelve months we have spent editing and writing this book. This book now appears, thanks also to these Second Generation wives. xi
