This area was a particularly fertile territory where cryptographic methods proliferated, because a large portion of the population was living in the frontier zone, and participated (or was forced to participate) in the network of the information flow. A quantitative analysis of sixteenth-century to seventeenth-century Hungarian ciphers (300 cipher keys and 1,600 partly or entirely...

Video Coding with Superimposed Motion-Compensated Signals: Applications to H.264 and Beyond captures recent advances in motion compensation for efficient video compression. This book investigates linearly combined motion compensated signals, and generalizes the well known superposition for bidirectional prediction in B-pictures. The number of superimposed signals and the reference picture selection are important aspects of discussion. The application...
