Description
This book provides a global understanding of source coding with an overview of practical coding schemes for speech, music and images. The first section covers background, theoretical material. It shows how source coding systems can be divided into basic blocks called transformation, quantization, coding and bit rate control blocks, each performing distinct functions which are discussed in separate chapters. The second part discusses examples and applications of source coding systems for sound signals and images.
