Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Image compression is an essential technique for efficient transmission and storage of images. The demands for transmission and storage of multimedia data are increasing exponentially. A gray scale ...

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

Compression technology benefits our daily lives so entirely, it goes unnoticed. It’s been a long, bizarre trip since compression’s early days in the 1950s, when mathematicians first developed lossless ...
