DESCRIPTION:
Introduction to Data Compression begins with lossless compression schemes, which lose no information during the compression/decompression process. He also describes scalar, vector, and differential encoding and fractal compression. In addition, the author takes on lossless compression for images. (The book contains all the relevant formulas, although those who don't need such mathematical detail will still be able to understand the book.) A good portion of the book examines various compression schemes, their strengths and weaknesses, and what content they work best fo
Practitioners, researchers, and students will benefit from the balanced presentation of theoretical material and implementations. Engineers and computer scientists need a solid understanding of compression in order to work with the burgeoning variety of data types and increasingly data-intensive applications. Rather than simply describing current approaches, Sayood explains the theoretical underpinnings of the algorithms so that readers learn how to model structures in data and design compression packages of their own. Optional starred sections provide enhanced technical or theoretical discussions. Features: Covers both lossy and lossless compression techniques with applications to image, speech, text, audio, and video compression. This uniquely comprehensive book explains the fundamental theories and techniques of data compression, with the most complete coverage available of both lossy and lossless methods. Official compression standards for video, audio, text, and facsimile are discussed in order to illustrate the techniques: includes JPEG, MPEG, G.728, H.261, and Group 3 and 4 fax standards.

Dr. R. A. Walker II said Math heavy, maybe that's why I loved it. This book was very math intensive on one hand, though on the other hand the pictorial descriptions of compression algorithms made it easy to flip through the book and decide which algorithms were applicable for you. All in all, a great book.. "Detailed, need mathematical knowledge, clearly explained." according to skimDetailed, need mathematical knowledge, clearly explained. This book very detailed. Strong mathematical skill is recommanded, but it is not an requirement. The author walks you through data compression algorithms step by step.. 5@starnetinc.com. This book very detailed.
