books, publications and education-

Books:

H.264 book

H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression (2003) is the first book to cover both MPEG-4 Visual and H.264/Advanced Video Coding standards in detail.

Video Codec Design book

Video Codec Design (2002) demystifies the subject of video coding and presents a practical, design-based approach to this important topic.

Selected Papers:
