The Transform and Data Compression Handbook (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series)


Product Description
Data compression is one of the main contributing factors in the explosive growth in information technology. Without it, a number of consumer and commercial products, such as DVD, videophone, digital camera, MP3, video-streaming and wireless PCS, would have been virtually impossible. Transforming the data to a frequency or other domain enables even more efficient compression. By illustrating this intimate link, The Transform and Data Compression Handbook serves as a much-needed handbook for a wide range of researchers and engineers.The authors describe various discrete transforms and their applications in different disciplines. They cover techniques, such as adaptive quantization and entropy coding, that result in significant reduction in bit rates when applied to the transform coefficients. With clear and concise presentations of the ideas and concepts, as well as detailed descriptions of the algorithms, the authors provide important insight into the applications and their limitations. Data compression is an essential step towards the efficient storage and transmission of information. The Transform and Data Compression Handbook provides a wealth of information regarding different discrete transforms and demonstrates their power and practicality in data compression.
The Transform and Data Compression Handbook (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series) Review
Unlike other CRCpress titles, this one has little coverage of the subject. Neither transforms nor data compression issue has been comprehensively addressed. One can easily fand better chapters on transforms in many image processing and coding books, including the non-sinusoidal ones - which are missing in the book. Editors seem to contact with authors who apparently did not want to write tutorial-type texts, but who had some rather specific things to say (Eg. Comparametric transfomrs for transmitting eye tap video with PTP). That might be OK, however there are so many basic things which are not here. If transforms and compression is considered together, the book still fails to serve since many issues such as coding gain and other analytical analysis, as well as many popular methods have been superficial. As a whole, the book seem a bit inconsistent to me.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "The Transform and Data Compression Handbook (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series)" are high quality item.
