About the Book
High Efficiency Video Coding and Other Emerging Standards provides an overview of high efficiency video coding (HEVC) and all its extensions and profiles. There are nearly 300 projects and problems included, and about 400 references related to HEVC alone. Next generation video coding (NGVC) beyond HEVC is also described. Other video coding standards such as AVS2, DAALA, THOR, VP9 (Google), DIRAC, VC1, and AV1 are addressed, and image coding standards such as JPEG, JPEG-LS, JPEG2000, JPEG XR, JPEG XS, JPEG XT and JPEG-Pleno are also listed.Understanding of these standards and their implementation is facilitated by overview papers, standards documents, reference software, software manuals, test sequences, source codes, tutorials, keynote speakers, panel discussions, reflector and ftp/web sites – all in the public domain. Access to these categories is also provided.

He has supervised 113 Masters and 31 doctoral students. He has published extensively and conducted tutorials/workshops worldwide. He has been a visiting professor in National university of Singapore and electronics and telecommunications research institute (ETRI), Taejon, Korea. He has been a keynote speaker in many national and international conferences. He has been a consultant to academia, industry and research institutes. He has been an external examiner for several M.S. and Ph.D. students worldwide. He has been a reviewer of research proposals from Brazil, China, India, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and US. He was invited to review applications for recruitment and/or promotion of faculty in various Universities (US and abroad). He is an IEEE Fellow. He has been a member of the academy of distinguished scholars, UTA. Jae-Jeong Hwang is currently the director of Innovation Center for Engineering Education at Kunsan National University, Korea. He is also professor of School of IT Information and Control Engineering at the KNU, since 1987 and adjunct professor of RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, since 2008. He served as the dean of Engineering College, the dean of graduate school of industry, the director of Information & Computing Center, Engineering Research Center, BK21 Industry-Academy Cooperated Education Project, and Small & Medium Enterprises Center. His research interests are digital image/video coding & processing, information theory, object segmentation and tracking, and IT convergence and applications. He is the co-author of Techniques and standards for image, video and audio coding (Prentice Hall, 1996), Digital Image/Video Engineering (Ajin, 1999), Digital Television Master (InterVision, 2007), Information and Coding Tech. (Dooyangsa, 2008), and Fast Fourier transform - Algorithms and applications (Springer, 2010), Video coding standards: AVS China, H.264/MPEG-4 PART 10, HEVC, VP6, DIRAC and VC-1 (Springer, 2014). He has also written some chapters in the books on digital video image quality and perceptual coding and digital consumer electronics handbook. Do Nyeon Kim received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea in 2004. From 1989 to 2003, he was with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), South Korea, where he was a senior researcher. From 2005 to 2010, he was with the University of Texas at Arlington where he was a visiting scholar of electrical engineering. Since 2010, he has been with Barun Technologies, Corp., South Korea, where he is currently a senior engineer. He has published "Fast Fourier Transform - Algorithms and Applications" (with K. R. Rao and J. J. Hwang, Springer, 2010). This has been translated into Chinese and Korean. Also "Video coding standards: AVS China, H.264/MPEG-4 PART 10, HEVC, VP6, DIRAC and VC-1", (with K. R.
