Features: The book consists of 8 chapters:
Chapter 2, "Digital Source Coding and 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 serves as a component of other compression techniques. It discusses compression algorithms for fax data and computer files.
Chapter 5, "Predictive Coding," and Chapter 6, "Transform Coding," are the main principles and methods of limited-distortion source coding. They introduce relevant algorithms and standards in conjunction with specific sources such as speech, images, and television.
Chapter 7, "Analysis/Synthesis Coding," and Chapter 8, "An Introduction to International Video Compression Standards," cite new methods and international standards in audiovisual compression for those who wish to delve deeper.
