Wiegand T., Schwarz H. Source Coding: Part I of Fundamentals of Source and Video Coding

Из серии Foundations and Trends in Signal Processing издательства NOWPress, 2010, -224 pp.Изложение современных подходов к кодированию информации.
Digital media technologies have become an integral part of the way we create, communicate, and consume information. At the core of these technologies are source coding methods that are described in this monograph. Based on the fundamentals of information and rate distortion theory, the most relevant techniques used in source coding algorithms are described: entropy coding, quantization as well as predictive and transform coding. The emphasis is put onto algorithms that are also used in video coding, which will be explained in the other part of this two-part monograph.
The advances in source coding technology along with the rapid developments and improvements of network infrastructures, storage capacity, and computing power are enabling an increasing number of multimedia applications. In this monograph, we will describe and analyze fundamental source coding techniques that are found in a variety of multimedia applications, with the emphasis on algorithms that are used in video coding applications. The present first part of the monograph concentrates on the description of fundamental source coding techniques, while the second part describes their application in modern video coding.Random Processes
