The Transform and Data Compression Handbook (Repost)

Transforms and Data Compression Handbook presents issues that are fundamental to communications, image processing, image and data storage, and the medical field. By illustrating the link between the transformation of data and efficient compression, using the basic theory of transforms and real compression applications, the editors create a much-needed handbook for a wide range of engineers and students. While this handbook is an exposition of different discrete transforms and their everexpanding applications in the general area of signal processing, the overriding task is to maintain the continuity and connectivity among the chapters. This task is accomplished by the common theme of data compression.
