Download or read book Tools for Signal Compression written by Nicolas Moreau and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents tools and algorithms required to compress/uncompress signals such as speech and music. These algorithms are largely used in mobile phones, DVD players, HDTV sets, etc. In a first rather theoretical part, this book presents the standard tools used in compression systems: scalar and vector quantization, predictive quantization, transform quantization, entropy coding. In particular we show the consistency between these different tools. The second part explains how these tools are used in the latest speech and audio coders. The third part gives Matlab programs simulating these coders.
