{"product_id":"multimedia-tools-and-applications-von-borko-furht-hrsg","title":"Multimedia Tools and Applications","description":"Multimedia computing has emerged in the last few years as a  major area of research. Multimedia computer systems have opened a wide  range of applications by combining a variety of information sources,  such as voice, graphics, animation, images, audio, and full-motion  video. Looking at the big picture, multimedia can be viewed as the  merging of three industries: the computer, communications, and  broadcasting industries. \u003cbr\u003e  Research and development efforts in multimedia computing can be  divided into two areas. As the first area of research, much effort has  been centered on the stand-alone multimedia workstation and associated  software systems and tools, such as music composition, computer-aided  education and training, and interactive video. However, the  combination of multimedia computing with distributed systems offers  even greater potential. New applications based on distributed  multimedia systems include multimedia information systems,  collaborative and videoconferencing systems, on-demand multimedia  services, and distance learning. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMultimedia Tools and Applications\u003c\/em\u003e is one of two volumes  published by Kluwer, both of which provide a broad introduction to  this fast moving area. This book covers selected tools applied in  multimedia systems and key multimedia applications. Topics presented  include multimedia application development techniques, techniques for  content-based manipulation of image databases, techniques for  selection and dissemination of digital video, and tools for digital  video segmentation. Selected key applications described in the book  include multimedia news services, multimedia courseware and training,  interactive television systems, digital video libraries, multimedia  messaging systems, and interactive multimedia publishing systems.  \u003cbr\u003e  The second book, \u003cem\u003eMultimedia Systems and Techniques\u003c\/em\u003e, covers  fundamental concepts and techniques used in multimedia systems. The  topics include multimedia objects and related models, multimedia  compression techniques and standards, multimedia interfaces,  multimedia storage techniques, multimedia communication and  networking, multimedia synchronization techniques, multimedia  information systems, scheduling in multimedia systems, and video  indexing and retrieval techniques. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMultimedia Tools and Applications\u003c\/em\u003e, along with its companion  volume, is intended for anyone involved in multimedia system design  and applications and can be used as a textbook for advanced courses on  multimedia.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781461286004\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781461286004","offer_id":39415661166685,"sku":"9781461286004","price":160.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e375ddd3-a64e-4c24-98fd-dd257b18a28b.jpg?v=1771045626","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/multimedia-tools-and-applications-von-borko-furht-hrsg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
