"A wonderful treasure chest of information; spanning a wide range of data compression methods, from simple test compression methods to the use of wavelets in image compression. It is unusual for a text on compression to cover the field so completely." ACM Computing Reviews "Salomons book is the most complete and up-to-date reference on the subject. The style, rigorous yet easy to read, makes this book the preferred choice [and] the encyclopedic nature of the text makes it an obligatory acquisition by our library." Dr Martin Cohn, Brandeis University Data compression is one of the most importanttools in modern computing, and there...

Data compression is one of the most important fields and tools in modern computing. From archiving data, to CD ROMs, and from coding theory to image analysis, many facets of modern computing rely upon data compression. Data Compression provides a comprehensive reference for the many different types and methods of compression. Included are a detailed and helpful taxonomy, analysis of most common methods, and discussions on the use and comparative benefits of methods and description of "how to" use them. The presentation is organized into the main branches of the field of data compression: run length encoding, statistical methods, dictionary-ba...
