Product Description

Product Description
Data compression is one of the most important fields and tools in modern computing. From archiving data, to CD ROMs, and from coding theory to image analysis, many facets of modern computing rely upon data compression. Data Compression provides a comprehensive reference for the many different types and methods of compression. Included are a detailed and helpful taxonomy, analysis of most common methods, and discussions on the use and comparative benefits of methods and description of "how to" use them. The presentation is organized into the main branches of the field of data compression: run length encoding, statistical methods, dictionary-based methods, image compression, audio compression, and video compression. Detailed descriptions and explanations of the most well-known and frequently used compression methods are covered in a self-contained fashion, with an accessible style and technical level for specialists and nonspecialists. Topics and features: coverage of video compression, including MPEG-1 and H.2 61; thorough coverage of wavelets methods, including CWT, DWT, EZW and the new Lifting Scheme technique; complete audio compression; QM coder used in JPEG and JBIG, including new JPEG 200 standard; image transformations and detailed coverage of discrete cosine transform and Haar transform; coverage of EIDAC method for compressing simple images; prefix image compression; ACB and FHM curve compression; geometric compression and edgebreaker technique. Data Compression provides an invaluable reference and guide for all computer scientists, computer engineers, electrical engineers, signal/image processing engineers and other scientists needing a comprehensive compilation for a broad range of compression methods.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent general compression book, 17 April 2002
By A. Sisson "alexs_uk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Data Compression (Paperback)
I recently did my final year project on data compression and this was the book I preferred most out of the three main ones I used (The other two being the Data Compression book by Mark Nelson, and Data Compression: Complete Reference by Geld). It's well written and covers all the various sorts of compression you are likely to need and then some more. What I especially liked is the author's slightly 'eccentric' style - he puts these little digressions in about something not relating to compression but are nonetheless very interesting and pleasantly suprising.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good General Reference, 2 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I was looking for a book that would explain the ins and outs of compression techniques. I found this book after much searching and head scratching. The books contents are layed out in a logical manner and some of the sections follow on from each other. For instance, the book starts with basic tables and progresses towards more complex (but still basic) techniques through the first chapter. The book coveres most of the commercial algorithms (hence good for apps programmers) in an overview that can be used to create your own coded algorithms. From this book one can gain an understanding of the various techniques used and perhaps build upon them. I found that it held the additional bonus of describing things like the JPEG image standards too. Maybe we can all learn from this and produce apps that compress their own files so that we don't all *need* 20TB hard discs. we may *want* them but don't *need* them. ;-)
