Items related to Data Compression: The Complete Reference
Synopsis
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 processing, many facets of modern computing rely upon data compression. This new edition of "Data Compression" provides a comprehensive reference for the many different types and methods of compression. Included are a detailed and helpful taxonomy, description 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.

Review
From a review of a previous edition: "A wonderful treasure chest of information; spanning a wide range of data compression methods, from simple text compression methods to the use of wavelets in image compression. It is unusual for a text on compression to cover the field so completely." --Computing Reviews

From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"A clear presentation of both the principles of data compression and all the important compression methods currently in use. The book is geared towards the nonspecialists. a ] can be a valuable reference for researchers with an interest in compression (or compression-related topics), engineers, and applied scientists working on products employing compression technology. a ] Overall, the book is an excellent reference on compression principles and methods for anyone with a general background in signal processing or computer science." (Shahram Shirani, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, March, 2008)
"The authora (TM)s comprehensive and informative presentation of these topics courageously does away with most of the theoretical topics needed to support the concepts a" which is most welcomed. a ] The text is easy to reada ] A collection of exercises for each chapter and a solid glossary are included. a ]the book is attractive to both the incidental reader (who needs a brief description and no details) and the more thorough one (who may use it for starting a research or teaching project). a ] The booka (TM)s size is alarmingly large, but appropriate for a complete reference work; it is rightfully titled." (Stefan Robila, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (9), September 2008)
