K. R. Rao received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque in 1966. He received B.S. E.E from the college of engineering, Guindy, India in 1952. Since 1966, he has been with the University of Texas at Arlington where he is currently a professor of electrical engineering. He, along with two other researchers, introduced the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) in 1975 which has since become very popular in digital signal processing. DCT, INTDCT (integer DCT), directional DCT and MDCT (modi ed DCT) have been adopted in several international video/image/audio coding standards such as JPEG/MPEG/H.26X series and also by SMPTE (VC-1) and by AVS China. He is the co-author of the books "Orthogonal Transforms for Digital Signal Processing" (Springer-Verlag, 1975). He has edited a benchmark volume, "Discrete Transforms and Their Applications" (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1985), and co-edited "Teleconferencing" (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1985). He is the co-author of the books, "Techniques and standards for Image/Video/Audio Coding" (Prentice Hall) 1996 "Packet video communications over ATM networks (Prentice Hall) 2000 and "Multimedia communication systems" (Prentice Hall) 2002. He has co edited a handbook "The transform and data compression handbook" (CRC Press, 2001). Digital video image quality and perceptual coding, (with H.R. Wu) (Taylor and Francis 2006). Introduction to multimedia communications: applications, middleware, networking, (with Z.S. Bojkovic and D.A. Milovanovic), Wiley, (2006). He has also published a book, "Discrete cosine and sine transforms", with V. Britanak and P. Yip (Elsevier 2007). Wireless Multimedia Communications (publisher: Taylor and Francis) Nov. 2008. "Fast Fourier Transform: algorithms and Applications", with D. Kim and J.J. Hwang (publisher: Springer) 2010. See less
