Abstract

In the past few years, multimedia communication has gained significant attention, particularly over mobile and embedded devices (such as wireless sensors). Multimedia applications are data-intensive, therefore requiring special treatment as against common data coding, communication and encryption applications. This section discusses some basics about video coding, data encryption and computer architectures used for data processing.

Chapter goals:

  • Basic introduction to video coding techniques.

  • Basic introduction to video encryption techniques.

  • Basic introduction to ‘general-purpose’ and ‘custom’ computer architectures.
