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.
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 ...
Images transmitted over the world wide web are an excellent example of why data compression is important. Suppose we need to download a digitized color photograph over a computer's 33.6 kbps modem. If ...
