Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Several algorithms for data compression may be more familiar – Huffman coding, LZW compression – and some a bit more arcane.

In MPEG Layer III coding the compression gain is mainly achieved through the unequal distribution of energy in the different frequency bands, the use of the psychoacoustic model, and Huffman coding.

GENEVA, Switzerland—A new group tasked with using artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of data compression was announced here on Sept 30. Several forces were behind the establishment of ...

Prof. Abraham Lempel, an Israeli computer scientist considered one of the fathers of data compression and the man who changed the field of computer science, died on Sunday at age 87.

“So a combination of 30 to 50 percent channel coding savings and two to three times gain in video (with advanced data compression), and there could be a huge savings in backhaul or SNG -easily a 3x ...

We will look at audio compression approaches in the context of audio compression standards. Principally, we will examine the different MPEG standards for audio compression. These include MPEG Layer I, ...
