2 out of 5 stars turned out to be diff from what i was expecting   April 19, 2007
KaGe (nashville, TN)
this book was suggested text for a course for security applications at GaTech (if i rem correctly). so went ahead and bought it for some self-study. it covers a great deal of mpeg-4 in the first few chapters but is very dated. mpeg-4 was not standardized when this was written and i've become familiar with mpeg-4 / h.264 since and found a lot of this material a little out of sync with the current standard.

the other chapters are also good overviews of the state-of-art in various fields, e.g. cmos sensor devices but since technology in these areas changes so fast, book seems dated there as well.
