IMS Multimedia Telephony service has been standardized in 3GPP as the replacement of the circuit switched telephony service in cellular networks. The multimedia telephony service consists of several service components such as voice, video and text. ?IMS Multimedia Telephony over Cellular Systems? provides a comprehensive overview of the service that will enable enriched telephony for mobile users. Enriched telephony fulfils the user?s desire to communicate in new ways, for example by sharing pictures and video clips.

In addition to an overview of the Multimedia Telephony service, the book focuses on the modern media processing methods, which allows the quality of the packet switched voice and video telephony not only to match but also possibly exceed the quality of circuit switched telephony. Such key components as adaptive jitter buffering and adaptation of conversational media are explained in detail.

This volume provides a comprehensive and cohesive compilation of multi-standards and systems for mobile multimedia broadcasting. The material includes coverage of the basic principles, algorithms, and design trade off as well as examples of software and hardware that have been implemented at the system level.

The first part of the book deals with system, implementation, compatibility and comparison of all the co-existing standards related to mobile TV and multimedia broadcasting including T-DMB, DAB, DVB-H/T, CMMB, Media-FLO, ISDB-T and WiMAX, ATSC digital TV and NTSC analog TV. The second part covers fundamental principles, algorithms, design and testing for baseband processing in mobile multimedia broadcasting. The third part consists of compression, transmission, error concealment, quality assessment and real-time implementation of video coding in broadcasting systems with emphasis o...

This book focuses on the super resolution of images and video. The authors’ use of the term super resolution (SR) is used to describe the process of obtaining a high resolution (HR) image, or a sequence of HR images, from a set of low resolution (LR) observations. This process has also been referred to in the literature as resolution enhancement (RE). SR has been applied primarily to spatial and temporal RE, but also to hyperspectral image enhancement. This book concentrates on motion based spatial RE, although the authors also describe motion free and hyperspectral image SR problems.
