More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is the first comprehensive treatment of the theoretical aspects of the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is being recommended by various standards organizations, such as the CCITT, ISO etc., as the primary compression tool in digital image coding. The main purpose of the book is to provide a complete source for the user of this signal processing tool, where both the basics and the applications are detailed. An extensive bibliography covers both the theory and applications of the DCT. The novice will find the book useful in its self-contained treatment of the theory of the DCT, the detailed description of various algorithms supported by computer programs and the range of possible applications, including codecs used for teleconferencing, videophone, progressive image transmission, and broadcast TV. The more advanced user will appreciate the extensive references. Tables describing ASIC VLSI chips for implementing DCT, and motion estimation and details on image compression boards are also provided.

First Sentence
As is well known, the development of fast algorithms for efficient implementation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) by Cooley and Turkey [M-34- in 1965 has led to phenomenal growth in its applications in digital signal processing (DSP). Read the first page

Format:Hardcover
This book provides a reasonably detailed derivation of the DCT and covers a wide range of issues related to its use. A lot of hardware implementation stuff too. Very good list of references, this author has done his homework. Ideal for someone with a good knowledge of the basic principals of signal processing who wants to do some research with the DCT or similar transforms.

This book is a must for people working in DSP fields
3 Dec 1997
Format:Hardcover
This book is so far the most complete reference of the transform "discrete cosine transform". We can see the author's time and effort by only looking at the reference section (more then 200+ references). This book outlines different algorithms for computing 1D, 2D DCT, IDCT, some includings FORTRAN codes. Without this book, collecting all the existing journals about DCT will probably takes several months. This book is good for novices about DCT, as well as good for experts.

Good reference, but not a good teaching book
9 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
This book is a good reference for the Discrete Cosine Transform. The mathematics is only moderately difficult, and should provide little difficulty for a talented engineer graduate, say.
And yet I can't give this book a great review. It's all rather clinical, with little attempt to provide overview or insight. One just doesn't come away terribly enlightened.
The main reason provided as to why the DCT might be better than the DFT in some instances is that it is a more compact encoder of Markov sequences. Great, but what does this mean in practise? Well, the authors give many applications, but they are dealt with briefly, with little insight, and in a encyclopedic manner. Better would have been a few simple applications, done in more detail, where the authors made crystal clear why the DCT is the tool for the job.
I was hoping to come away with an in-depth understanding as to the properties of the DCT, where it's best applied, and why. I was disappointed.
