Computers and communication systems have now reached the stage where is it possible to have photographic-quality color pictures. But smooth motion and accurate color, though easy to achieve in video equipment, remain beyond the reach of general purpose computers. This book will help computer system designers, engineers, programmers and technicians to learn the techniques of digital video, to bring smooth motion and accurate color to computing. If you are a television professional, this book will help you to understand the technology at the core of digital video.

Book Details
First Sentence
"The three-dimensional world is imaged by the lens of the human eye onto the retina, which is populated with photoreceptor cells that respond to light having wavelengths in the range of about 400 nm to 700 nm. In an imaging system, we build a camera having a lens and a photosensitive device, to mimic how the world is perceived by vision."
