"The Transform and Data Compression Handbook serves as a handbook for a wide range of researchers and engineers.".
"The authors describe various discrete transforms and their applications in different disciplines. They cover techniques, such as adaptive quantization and entropy coding, that result in significant reduction in bit rates when applied to the transform coefficients. With presentations of the ideas and concepts, as well as descriptions of the algorithms, the authors provide insight into the applications and their limitations.
Data compression is an essential step towards the efficient storage and transmission of information. The Transform and Data Compression Handbook provides information regarding different discrete transforms and demonstrates their power and practicality in data compression."--BOOK JACKET.
