Add to basketPaperback. Most data compression methods that are based on variable-length codes employ the Huffman or Golomb codes. However, there are a large number of less-known codes that have useful properties - such as those containing certain bit patterns, or which are robust - and these can be useful. This book brings this large set of codes to the attention of workers in the field and of students of computer science.David Salomons crystal clear style of writing and presentation, which has been familiar to readers for many years now allows easy access to the topic. Readers are only required to have a general familiarity with computer methods and essentially an understanding of the representation of data in bits and files.Computer scientists, electrical engineers and students majoring in computer science or electrical engineering will find this volume an invaluable resource, as will those readers in various physical sciences and mathematics. Most data compression methods that are based on variable-length codes employ the Huffman or Golomb codes. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

David Salomon’s clear style of writing and presentation, which has been familiar to readers for many years now, allows easy access to this topic. This comprehensive text offers readers a detailed, reader-friendly description of the variable length codes used in the field of data compression. Readers are only required to have a general familiarity with computer methods and essentially an understanding of the representation of data in bits and files.
Topics and Features:
• Discusses codes in-depth, not the compression algorithms, which are readily available in many books
• Includes detailed illustrations, providing readers with a deeper and broader understanding of the topic
• Provides a supplementary author-maintained website, with errata and auxiliary material – www.davidsalomon.name/VLCadvertis/VLC.html
• Easily understood and used by computer science majors requiring only a minimum of mathematics
• Can easily be used as a main or auxiliary textbook for courses on algebraic codes or data compression and protection
• An ideal companion volume to David Salomon’s fourth edition of Data Compression: The Complete Reference
Computer scientists, electrical engineers and students majoring in computer science or electrical engineering will find this volume a valuable resource, as will those readers in various physical sciences and mathematics.
