Lossless Compression Handbook

All professional engineers and computer scientists dealing with compressed images, text and data for use in wireless and wired communication systems are affected by the integrity of the process by which the signals are transferred. The Lossless Compression Handbook clearly explains the process of compression and transmission of multimedia signals (images, text, audio, and data) so that the decompressed or reconstructed data exactly match the original. Since most signals are coded and compressed to be transmitted, the need for higher quality and accuracy through lossless compression is of absolute importance and priority. This book will prove invaluable to engineers dealing with image processing, signal processing, multimedia systems, wireless technology, and more. The 21 chapters in this handbook are written by the leading experts in the world on the theory, techniques, applications, and standards surrounding lossless compression. As with most applied technologies, the standards section is of particular importance to practicing design engineers. In order to create devices and communication systems that can communicate and be compatible with other systems and devices, standards must be followed. The quality and clarity of audio, text and video signals used in mobile phones, computer networks, EPS devices, and many other applications are among the highest priorities of communications companies and devices manufacturers because the users' perception of product quality relies on lossless compression. The same challenges concern the Internet, television, fax machines, digital photography, printers, and nearly every aspect of modern business and personal communications.Sayood, Khalid is the author of 'Lossless Compression Handbook' with ISBN 9780126208610 and ISBN 0126208611.
