William A. Pearlman – författare

With clear and easy-to-understand explanations, this book covers the fundamental concepts and coding methods of signal compression, whilst still retaining technical depth and rigor. It contains a wealth of illustrations, step-by-step descriptions of algorithms, examples and practice problems, which make it an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a useful self-study tool for researchers and professionals. Principles of lossless compression are covered, as are various entropy coding techniques, including Huffman coding, arithmetic coding and Lempel-Ziv coding. Scalar and vector quantization and trellis coding are thoroughly explained, and a full chapter is devoted to mathematical transformations including the KLT, DCT and wavelet transforms. The workings of transform and subband/wavelet coding systems, including JPEG2000 and SBHP image compression and H.264/AVC video compression, are explained and a unique chapter is provided on set partition coding, shedding new light on SPIHT, SPECK, EZW and related methods.

This book teaches the fundamentals and mathematical formulas of reversible transformations (or transforms) that are used in many source coding and signal processing systems. These mathematical transforms are often necessary or crucial toward reduction of data storage and transmission rate requirements. The author emphasizes the wavelet transform as it is the preferred transform for practical application in many coding and signal processing systems. The book also covers the tap (coefficient) values for some of those filters that satisfy the perfect reconstruction property. Examples of the use of filter-based and matrix-based transforms are also provided. This self-contained work contains insight gained through research and practice, which makes it a valuable reference and tutorial for readers interested in the subject of mathematical transforms.This book:Teaches the fundamentals and mathematical formulas of reversible transformations, as well as theirapplicationsHighlights the wavelet transformation, which is the preferred transform for many practical applicationsContains insight gained through research and practice, making it a valuable resource those interested in the topic
