Review:
Never before has the topic of lossless compression been so topical. That's why the recent publication of Lossless Compression Handbook, is so timely. It explains the process of compression and transmission of multimedia signals (images, text, audio and data) so that the decompressed or reconstructed data exactly match the original. Who is this book for? Engineers, scientists and other professionals who deal with image processing, signal processing, multimedia systems and wireless technology. It's for anyone who has a problem that requires compression.

This book will be of interest to every engineer or researcher who is working with coded data such as compressed images, text, or compressed data...Lossless Compression Handbook is a must read for all professionals who are working in the field of image coding such as JPEG 2000. Each chapter has numerous references that help the reader to explore more about topics of interest. Another interesting feature is that authors of individual chapters provide a note on how to go further on a particular topic at the end of the chapter. Pseudocode listing in most of the chapters enables quicker understanding and implements various algorithms discussed. Overall, this book is a wonderful introduction and a handy reference to the topic of lossless compression. I recommend this book in the library of every working individual who is working in this area of lossless compression.

All professional engineers and computer scientists dealing with compressed images, text and data for use in wireless and wired communication systems are affected by the integrity of the process by which the signals are transferred. The Lossless Compression Handbook clearly explains the process of compression and transmission of multimedia signals (images, text, audio, and data) so that the decompressed or reconstructed data exactly match the original. Since most signals are coded and compressed to be transmitted, the need for higher quality and accuracy through lossless compression is of absolute importance and priority. This book will prove invaluable to engineers dealing with image processing, signal processing, multimedia systems, wireless technology, and more.
The 21 chapters in this handbook are written by the leading experts in the world on the theory, techniques, applications, and standards surrounding lossless compression. As with most applied technologies, the standards section is of particular importance to practicing design engineers. In order to create devices and communication systems that can communicate and be compatible with other systems and devices, standards must be followed. The quality and clarity of audio, text and video signals used in mobile phones, computer networks, EPS devices, and many other applications are among the highest priorities of communications companies and devices manufacturers because the users' perception of product quality relies on lossless compression. The same challenges concern the Internet, television, fax machines, digital photography, printers, and nearly every aspect of modern business and personal communications.
