Introduction to Data Compression, Fourth Edition, is a concise and comprehensive guide to the art and science of data compression. This new edition includes all the cutting edge updates the reader will need during the work day and in class. It provides an extensive introduction to the theory underlying today’s compression techniques with detailed instruction for their applications using several examples to explain the concepts.

Encompassing the entire field of data compression, this book covers lossless and lossy compression, Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, dictionary techniques, context based compression, scalar and vector quantization. New to this fourth edition is a more detailed description of the JPEG 2000 standard as well as speech coding for internet applications.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This text is a truly introductory treatment of the entire field of data compression, including lossless coding, speech coding, and audio coding, which are often neglected in other data compression books. Sayood’s book has the very best tutorial treatment of lossless source coding anywhere, with detailed coverage of Lempel-Ziv, arithmetic, Golumb, and Tunstall coding, in addition to treatments of fixed and adaptive Huffman coding and context-based methods. Additionally, the book contains material on M-band quadrature mirror filter banks, the polyphase decomposition, and wavelets beyond what is normally found in any introductory text. I have used Sayood’s book for a reference and as a text for a course on signal compression. I highly recommend it for adoption. --Jerry D. Gibson, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara

Khalid Sayood's book has long been the standard academic reference for those interested in Data Compression. I am very pleased to see his ongoing effort to keep the content timely with the release of the fourth edition this fall. If you want to be well versed in state of the art, ranging from simple lossless coding up to complex video compression, this is the only book I know that will stay with you on every step of the journey. --Mark Nelson, Engineer at Cisco Systems, Inc and Senior Member of IEEE

About the Author

Khalid Sayood received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Rochester in 1977 and 1979, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 1982. In 1982, he joined the University of Nebraska, where he is the Heins Professor of Engineering. His research interests include data compression, joint source channel coding, and bioinformatics.

Accessible textbook on compression does not sacrifice rigor

May 18, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is one of those books that only gets a new edition when the author has something genuinely new to say, and this third edition of Sayood's excellent introduction to data compression is no exception. This particular edition is different from the second mainly in that there is a new chapter on audio compression that includes a description of the mp3 algorithm. Also there is additional information on the new video coding standards as well as the new facsimile standards.

As to the target audience for this book, if you are tasked with designing hardware or software implementations of data compression algorithms and you have some background in either electrical engineering or computer science, then this is a good book from which to learn and then to practice what you learn via some very good exercises. Some prior knowledge of information theory and random processes wouldn't hurt either. There is also an abundance of examples that are sprinkled throughout the book to illustrate concepts as they are presented. The author's approach in each chapter is to explain each concept in as an accessible manor as possible, present relevant equations, and then work an example using what has just been presented.

The book presents the mathematical preliminaries in chapter 2, and chapters 3 and 4 are dedicated to coding algorithms which include Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, Golumb-Rice codes, and Tunstall codes. Chapters 5 and 6 describe many of the popular lossless compression methods and their applications. These methods include LZW, BWT, and DMC. Chapter 7 describes various lossless image compression algorithms such as JBIG as well as their applications. Chapter 8 discusses the mathematical background of lossy compression standards. Chapters 9 and 10 concentrate on quantization since it is the basis of most lossy compression schemes. Chapter 11 discusses differential encoding techniques such as DPCM and delta modulation. Included is a discussion of the CCITT G.726 standard.

Chapter 12 is the third and final chapter dedicated to mathematical foundations. It is meant to prepare the reader for the chapters on transform, subband, and wavelet based methods that encompass the following three chapters. The JPEG standard is covered in chapter 13, the CCITT G.722 standard in chapter 14, and the EZW, SPIHT, and JPEG2000 standards are covered in chapter 15. Chapter 16 focuses on audio compression and includes descriptions of the various MPEG audio compression schemes including mp3. Chapter 17 switches gears somewhat and covers techniques in which the data to be compressed is analyzed and a model is produced. This model is then used to synthesize the data and is quite useful in speech compression. Chapter 18 deals with video compression and diverges from the book's central theme of dealing with techniques rather than applications. The chapter discusses the H.261 standard as well as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 standards.

The website for the book, found at the publisher's site, contains a large number of C programs dealing with compression. I haven't tried to use any of these yet, so I can't speak to their validity.

I own nearly every book on compression. This is a great text; it's comprehensive, well-written, and I haven't stumbled over any errors. Some of the topics other books gloss over are well covered here... and vice versa. But out of all the books on this topic, I think this is a great introductory text.

The index is pretty good and the pages aren't glossy, which are nice to see in this day and age as well.

This book is quit good for data compression. It covers a lot of topics.
But for developing your own code, you may need some additional books. For example, DSP using Matlab and wavelets should be a good one.
The book has clarity and is well written.
In the wavelet compression chapter there are few errors.
If you go through the derivations you can spot the errors
1) Equation 15.33 should be multiplied by -1.
2) Equation 15.53 should be c(j,k) = Sigma(h(l - 2k) * c(j + 1,l))

Don't be dissuaded by the age of this book. It is the best introductory look at the various compression techniques. It walks you through the various algorithms step by step providing numerous insights along the way. This is the first book you should buy if you are interested in compression.

This book is like a holy bible for data compression issues. This is the second time I bought a copy of this book and the newer version is even better. It covers more issues and problems are better explained. I recommend everybody to buy this book if you will work on data compression. It is a good starter for newbies.

While contains a lot of information the author was clearly paid per word or page.

Lots of ranting and side questing in reading rather than sticking to the topic at hand.

A must-have book, always better

Everything good said about previous editions is there again: Sayood's Introduction to Data Compression is still the best way to present this field to any reader.

Not nearly good enough

I bought this book on e-bay for $1.13 and I want a refund. The word "introduction" in the title of the book is an understatement.Read more

Great condition

My book came to me in great condition and also took about how long you would expect for an Amazon order to get to me. Very satisfied!
