Video signal processing
This chapter presents several diverse topics concerning the representation and processing of video signals.
It is ubiquitous in modern computers that integer arithmetic is implemented using the two’s complement representation of binary numbers. When the result of an arithmetic operation such as addition or subtraction overflows the fixed bit depth available, two’s complement arithmetic ordinarily involves wrapping around – for example, in 16-bit two’s complement, taking the largest positive number, 32,767 (or in hexadecimal, 7fffh) and adding one produces the smallest negative number, −32,768 (or in hexadecimal, 8000h). It is an insidious problem with computer software implementation of video algorithms that wraparound ...
