Compression and Coding Algorithms describes in detail the coding mechanisms that are available for use in data compression systems. The well known Huffman coding technique is one mechanism, but there have been many others developed over the past few decades, and this book describes, explains and assesses them. People undertaking research of software development in the areas of compression and coding algorithms will find this book an indispensable reference. In particular, the careful and detailed description of algorithms and their implementation, plus accompanying pseudo-code that can be readily implemented on computer, make this book a definitive reference in an area currently without one.

3.0 out of 5 stars
good book but can be better.,
By
This review is from: Compression and Coding Algorithms (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) (Hardcover)
Althoug the topics covered in this book are very essential and basic for those who are interested in source coding, but the unsmooth way of presenting the basics and advanced ideas makes the reading of the book a little bit difficult and needs more effort to get even the basic ones. Comparing the way the same topics are presented in other references, it is here too complicated.
