Image and Video Coding: Standards, Tools and Techniques

Source coding refers to the process of encoding information using fewer bits compared to the original data. It can be lossy or lossless. Lossless compression is characterized by the elimination of loss of information and statistical redundancy. In lossy compression, bits are reduced by removing unnecessary information. In both these compressions, using the techniques of linear prediction, coding and pattern recognition, there is a reduction in information redundancy. Such compression of dat...
