In life, time is money, and on the Internet, the size of data is
money. Small programs and small files take less disk space and cost
less to send over the Internet. Compression Algorithms for Real
Programmers describes the basic algorithms and approaches for
compressing information so you can create the smallest files
possible. These new algorithms are making it possible for people to
take impossibly large audio and video files and compress them
enough that they can flow over the Internet.
* Examines the classic algorithms like Huffman coding, arithmetic
compression, and dictionary-based schemes in depth
* Describes the basic approaches used to squeeze audio and video
signals by factors of as much as 100: 1
* Discusses the philosophy of compression to illustrate the
underlying trade-offs in the algorithms
* Explores the use of wavelets and other modeling techniques that
use repetitive functions to squeeze audio and video
* Shows how programming solutions like Adobe PostScript can save
space and make networks more efficient
* Describes new approaches using fractals and grammars just being
explored by the compression community
* Shows how to extend the algorithms and use them for copyright
protection
