Overview
This book is devoted to the theory and practice of signal compression; i.e. data compression applied to signals such as speech, audio, images and video signals. The emphasis is on the conversion of analog waveforms into efficient digital representations and on the compression of digital information into the fewest possible bits. Both operations should yield the highest possible reconstruction fidelity subject to constraints on the bit rate and implementation complexity.Synopsis
