Drawing on their experience in industry, research, and academia,
this powerful author team combines their expertise to provide an
accessible guide to data compression standards and techniques and
their applications. The essential ideas and motivation behind the
various compression methods are presented, and insight is provided
into the evolution of the standards. Standards-compliant design
alternatives are discussed, and some noncompliant designs also are
treated.
Covering the fundamental underpinnings of the most widely used
compression methods, this book is intended for engineers and
computer scientists designing, manufacturing, and implementing
compression systems, as well as system integrators, technical
managers, and researchers. It provides, in a single source, an
overview of the current standards for speech, audio, video, image,
fax, and file compression.
* Authored by five experts from industry and academia who are
heavily involved in research, development, and standards-setting
activities
* Covers the full spectrum of multimedia compression standards
including those for lossless data compression, speech coding,
high-quality audio coding, still image compression, facsimile, and
video compression
* Provides enough theory for you to understand the building blocks
of the compression systems discussed, with appendices containing
necessary algorithmic details and mathematical foundations
