Review
From the reviews: "The author has done an excellent job. He has written a practical guidebook that covers the range of compression issues, from arithmetic compression to wavelet compression, passing through compression methods for static images, video, and audio. The mathematical framework used in comprehensive without being messy. The author describes every method with no more than the necessary mathematical theory. He also provides easy-to-follow examples, which solve the few doubts the reader might have after reading the theory." --Computing Reviews "The current book is intended for people interested in a basic understanding of the increasingly important field of data compression … . this book is nicely written and well organized. … the author has done a very good job in explaining all these complicated concepts, and presenting related algorithms and their analysis, with a minimal amount of mathematics. This is remarkable. Another good feature of this book is that … it contains many examples that are well chosen, easy to follow, and real." (Zhizhang Shen, Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 996 (21), 2002)

A High Risk Security Issue,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Guide to Data Compression Methods (Paperback)
My computer security software did alert me about a high risk security issue on the disk that came with this book.A high risk security issue is when it's someone else's computer; traumatic is when it's mine. On the book's inside cover the publisher asserts the right to "AUDIT" a computer which has the software installed. (c)
