Digital Signal Compression

With clear and easy-to-understand explanations this book covers the fundamental concepts and coding methods of signal compression whilst still retaining technical depth and rigor. It contains a wealth of illustrations step-by-step descriptions of algorithms examples and practice problems which make it an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as a useful self-study tool for researchers and professionals. Principles of lossless compression are covered as are various entropy coding techniques including Huffman coding arithmetic coding and Lempel-Ziv coding. Scalar and vector quantization and trellis coding are thoroughly explained and a full chapter is devoted to mathematical transformations including the KLT DCT and wavelet transforms. The workings of transform and subband/wavelet coding systems including JPEG2000 and SBHP image compression and H.264/AVC video compression are explained and a unique chapter is provided on set partition coding shedding new light on SPIHT SPECK EZW and related methods.
