Digital signal compression : principles and practice 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
