Introduction to Data Compression

Data compression has been an enabling technology for the information revolution. As this revolution has changed our lives, data compression has become a more and more ubiquitous, if often invisible, presence. From smartphones, to digital television and movies, data compression is an integral part of information technology and of our lives. This incorporation of compression into more and more of our lives also points to a certain degree of maturation and stability of the technology. This maturity is reflected in the fact that there are fewer differences between each edition of this book. In the second edition we had added new techniques that had been developed since the first edition of this book came out. In the third edition we added a chapter on audio compression, a topic that had not been adequately covered in the second edition. The fourth edition expanded the coverage of wavelets. In this edition we have added details of standards that have come out since the last edition such as High Efficiency Video Coding and new standards from the JPEG committee. We have added a description of Grammar based codes which might become more important in the coming years and as always we have filled in details left out from the previous editions. I have also indulged my latest interests by including a few applications of data compression algorithms to bioinformatics.
