Anotace

An effective blend of carefully explained theory and practical applications, this book imparts the basics of both information theory and data compression. Although the two topics are related, this unique treatment allows readers to explore either topic independent of the other.The authors' treatment of Information Theory, while theoretical and abstract, is pitched at an elementary level, less daunting than most other texts. After presenting the fundamental definitions and results of the theory, they then bring the theory to bear on noisy channels. A number of computational examples and exercises are included. The Data Compression section acquaints readers with a myriad of lossless compression methods and introduces then to the weirder world of lossy compression and how one can proceed using various transforms. This section allows readers to emerge broadly conversant with and competent in a large range of techniques.The unique, flexible presentation in Introduction to Information Theory and Data Compression provides the background needed to apply information theory to forming and answering theoretical questions in data compression. However, those curious about data compression, but with no interest in information theory and vice versa can profit equally from the book-as can those with a curiosity about the intriguing connections between the two areas.
