Features: This book is the national key textbook for the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" in electronic information specialty, published in June 2000. The second edition is a revision, supplementation, and update based on the first edition, continuing to discuss the basic theories, practical techniques, advanced standards, and specific applications of data compression. The book consists of 8 chapters: Chapter 1, Introduction. Chapter 2, "Digitization of the Source and Compression System Evaluation," and Chapter 3, "Theoretical Limits and Basic Approaches," are the theoretical foundations of data compression. Chapter 4, "Statistical Coding," is not only a fundamental method for lossless data compression but also often becomes a component of other compression techniques, discussing effective data and file compression algorithms. Chapter 5, "Predictive Coding," and Chapter 6, "Transform Coding," are the main principles and methods of limited-distortion source coding. Combined with specific sources such as speech, images, and television, they introduce relevant algorithms and standards. Chapter 7, "Analysis-Synthesis Coding," and Chapter 8, "An Introduction to International Video Compression Standards," quote new methods and domestic and international standards for audiovisual compression for those who wish to delve deeper. The basic content of this book is a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate students in communication and information specialty. The entire book can be used as a teaching reference for graduate courses in "Data Compression" or "Source Coding." It is also suitable for technical personnel in multimedia communication, broadcasting and television, consumer electronics, digital storage, remote sensing and telemetry, and computer applications to self-study.
