FPGA implementation of real-time image coding in the MPEG-2 standard

Among many coding standards, the MPEG-2 standard is currently one of the most commonly used video compression standards for video images. It is most often used on digital television. This standard is also used in digital cameras, DVDs, digital tuners, etc.

The aim of the work described in this book was the effective implementation of the video image compression and decompression system in the MPEG-2 standard operating in real-time mode, using the technology of FPGA programmable devices.
