Distributed Source Coding: Theory and Practice

Distributed source coding is one of the key enablers for efficient cooperative communication. The potential applications range from wireless sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, and surveillance networks, to robust low-complexity video coding, stereo/Multiview video coding, HDTV, hyper-spectral and multispectral imaging, and biometrics.

The book is divided into three sections: theory, algorithms, and applications. Part one covers the background of information theory with an emphasis on DSC; pa...
