Versatile Video Coding

Versatile Video Coding

Video is the main driver of bandwidth use accounting for over 80 per cent of consumer Internet traffic. Video compression is a critical component of many of the available multimedia applications it is necessary for storage or transmission of digital video over today's band-limited networks. The majority of this video is coded using international standards developed in collaboration with ITU-T Study Group and MPEG. The MPEG family of video coding standards begun on the early 1990s with MPEG-1 developed for video and audio storage on CD-ROMs with support for progressive video. MPEG-2 was standardized in 1995 for applications of video on DVD standard and high definition television with support for interlaced and progressive video. MPEG-4 part 2 also known as MPEG-2 video was standardized in 1999 for applications of low- bit rate multimedia on mobile platforms and the Internet with the support of object-based or content based coding by modeling the scene as background and foreground. Since MPEG-1 the main video coding standards were based on the so-called macroblocks. However research groups continued the work beyond the traditional video coding architectures and found that macroblocks could limit the performance of the compression when using high-resolution video. Therefore in 2013 the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) also known and H. 265 was released with a structure similar to H. 264/AVC but using coding units with more flexible partitions than the traditional macroblocks. HEVC has greater flexibility in prediction modes and transform block sizes also it has a more sophisticated interpolation and de blocking filters. In 2006 the VC-1 was released. VC-1 is a video codec implemented by Microsoft and the Microsoft Windows Media Video (VMW) 9 and standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). In 2017 the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) released a call for proposals for a new video coding standard initially called Beyond the HEVC Future Video Coding (FVC) or known as Versatile Video Coding (VVC). VVC is being built on top of HEVC for application on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 360° Video. The VVC is planned to be finalized by 2020. This book presents the new VVC and updates on the HEVC. The book discusses the advances in lossless coding and covers the topic of screen content coding. Technical topics discussed include: Beyond the High Efficiency Video CodingHigh Efficiency Video Coding encoderScreen contentLossless and visually lossless coding algorithmsFast coding algorithmsVisual quality assessmentOther screen content coding algorithmsOverview of JPEG Series

Posthuman Gaming Avatars Gamers and Entangled Subjectivities

Posthuman Gaming Avatars Gamers and Entangled Subjectivities

Posthuman Gaming: Avatars Gamers and Entangled Subjectivities explores the relationship between avatar and gamer in the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game World of Warcraft to examine notions of entangled subjectivity affects and embodiments – what it means and how it feels to be posthuman. With a focus on posthuman subjectivity Wilde considers how we can begin to articulate ourselves when the boundary between self and other is unclear. Drawing on fieldnotes of her own gameplay experiences the author analyses how subjectivity is formed in ways that defy a single individual notion of “self” and explores how different practices feelings and societal understandings can disrupt strict binaries and emphasise our posthumanism. She interrogates if one can speak of an “I” in the face of posthuman multiplicity before exploring different analytical themes beginning with how acting theories might be posthumanised and articulate the relationship between avatar and gamer. She then defines posthuman empathy and explains how this is experienced in gaming before addressing the need to account for boredom the complexity of nostalgia and ways death and loss are experienced through gaming. This volume will appeal to a broad audience and is particularly relevant to scholars and students of cultural studies media studies humanities and game studies. | Posthuman Gaming Avatars Gamers and Entangled Subjectivities

Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications Coding with MATLAB and Simulink

Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications Coding with MATLAB and Simulink

Microcontroller programming is not a trivial task. Indeed it is necessary to set correctly the required peripherals by using programming languages like C/C++ or directly machine code. Nevertheless MathWorks® developed a model-based workflow linked with an automatic code generation tool able to translate Simulink® schemes into executable files. This represents a rapid prototyping procedure and it can be applied to many microcontroller boards available on the market. Among them this introductory book focuses on the C2000 LaunchPadTM family from Texas InstrumentsTM to provide the reader basic programming strategies implementation guidelines and hardware considerations for some power electronics-based control applications. Starting from simple examples such as turning on/off on-board LEDs Analog-to-Digital conversion waveform generation or how a Pulse-Width-Modulation peripheral should be managed the reader is guided through the settings of the specific MCU-related Simulink® blocks enabled for code translation. Then the book proposes several control problems in terms of power management of RL and RLC loads (e. g. involving DC-DC converters) and closed-loop control of DC motors. The control schemes are investigated as well as the working principles of power converter topologies needed to drive the systems under investigation. Finally a couple of exercises are proposed to check the reader’s understanding while presenting a processor-in-the loop (PIL) technique to either emulate the dynamics of complex systems or testing computational performance. Thus this book is oriented to graduate students of electrical and automation and control engineering pursuing a curriculum in power electronics and drives as well as to engineers and researchers who want to deepen their knowledge and acquire new competences in the design and implementations of control schemes aimed to the aforementioned application fields. Indeed it is assumed that the reader is well acquainted with fundamentals of electrical machines and power electronics as well as with continuous-time modeling strategies and linear control techniques. In addition familiarity with sampled-data discrete-time system analysis and embedded design topics is a plus. However even if these competences are helpful they are not essential since this book provides some basic knowledge even to whom is approaching these topics for the first time. Key concepts are developed from scratch including a brief review of control theory and modeling strategies for power electronic-based systems. | Introduction to Microcontroller Programming for Power Electronics Control Applications Coding with MATLAB® and Simulink®
