Ingham Ingham Publishing Inc., 1963 Ingham compression method             Managing Gigabytes: Compressing and Indexing Documents and Images (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Multimedia ...11 reviews Alistair Moffat, Timothy C. Bell Morgan Kaufmann, 1999 The Wonderful Thing Is: It's the Only One This is the only book there is that will actually teach you how to build an information retrieval system (aka search engine). It discusses all the algorithms and tradeoffs, and comes with free downloadable source code to experiment with. Some of the material is standard, but covered in more implementation detail here than anywhere else. Some of the material is novel: you won't find better ...             Java I/O28 reviews Elliotte Harold O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006 Great reference for your file input/output logic... [Review of 2nd edition] Getting data into and out of files in your Java program can be painstaking when you consider all the variations... network resources as files, compressed files, text vs. binary data in the file, etc. Java has significant power in this area, but there's a lot to know and understand. Elliotte Rusty Harold has made the task of learning it all a little easier with the ...             Digital Video Compression (with CD-ROM)8 reviews Peter Symes McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics, 2003 Very Comprehensive This is probably the best overall book on video compression on Amazon. I gave it five stars because of that. The only down side is that it is now a bit dated, with the creation of newer and better MPEG4 compression schemes (like H264) since the book was written (2003). If the author came out with a 2nd edition of the book that would be great and I would buy it immediately. Still, this book gave ...             Schaum's Outline of Strength of Materials 4th Edition5 reviews William Nash McGraw-Hill, 1998 Well written book I have already finished courses in strength of materials etc., and am using this book as a reference, instead of those voluminous handbooks. The book is very well written and William Nash has an excellent, straight forward way of putting forth the key points. The book has all the information you might need for a first course in strength of materials. I also use this book in conjunction with a ...             Compression in Video and Audio (Music Technology)1 review John Watkinson Focal Pr, 1995 largely copied from "the art of digital audio" This short, simple book is a decent introduction to the subject. But, it is largely copied from his earlier book "The Art of Digital Audio." I think the amazon.com claim of 256 pages may be incorrect. I only count 176.             Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain16 reviews Warren C. Young, Richard Budynas McGraw-Hill Professional, 2001 Five Stars With no Doubt. During my years as Structural Calculyst this book was always on my right side on my desk, and when I needed it, it was ready to help me find my way. One really very good Engineer has never found all formulas in his head, instead he should be able of finding them out on good references and really know how to use them all. This is the best reference book you are going to find when formulas is ...             JPEG2000 Standard for Image Compression: Concepts, Algorithms and VLSI Architectures2 reviews Tinku Acharya, Ping-Sing Tsai Wiley-Interscience, 2004 diminishing returns? We all want better compression. Yet surely the current JPG and GIF have taken us to the limit? Apparently not, if you read this book. There is still some slack that can be squeezed out of an image, if you use JPEG2000. Acharya gives you all the technical details. Where it would greatly assist your comprehension if you already knew about the discrete cosine transform and the current JPG standard. ...             ShaderX4: Advanced Rendering Techniques (Graphics Series)6 reviews Wolfgang Engel Charles River Media, 2006 Advanced graphics hardware and software techniques Wolfgang Engel edits SHADER X4: ADVANCED RENDERING TECHNIQUES, a toolbox of advanced graphics hardware and software techniques for any student of graphics programming. SHADER X4 especially lends to classroom use, with its articles covering everything from interlaced rendering and fog volume issues to real-time environment mapping and Shader subsystems. While the coverage can help novices, it's ...             The VC-1 and H.264 Video Compression Standards for Broadband Video Services (Multimedia Systems and ... Jae-Beom Lee, Hari Kalva Springer, 2008 The MPEG committee standardized the MPEG AVC (H.264) video coding standard in May 2003. The standard has since seen strong interest and adoption from the industry. A competing standard developed by Microsoft, referred to as VC-1, was standardized in SMPTE in April 2006. VC-1 is essentially a standardized version of Microsoft's Windows Media Video (WMV-9). Both H.264 and VC-1 are highly efficient compression standards that enable high-quality ...             JPEG2000: Image Compression Fundamentals, Standards and Practice (The International Series in Engineering and ...3 reviews Springer, 2001 Great Work The author of this book is a genius. His work should be required reading for all. Definatly one of the great minds in our time.             H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression: Video Coding for Next Generation Multimedia6 reviews Iain Richardson, Iain E. G. Richardson Wiley, 2003 Totally solid, and still the only book out there I almost didn't get this book because some of the other reviews are pretty bad. I'm glad I got it! This isn't a standard. So you won't find every table that's part of h.264, but you'll find enough that the standard will be accessible after you read this book. And given that the goal is conversational instead of documentary, Richardson has done a terrific job of simultaneously describing a ...             JPEG: Still Image Data Compression Standard (Digital Multimedia Standards) (Digital Multimedia Standards)7 reviews William B. Pennebaker; Joan L. Mitchell Springer, 1992 The definitive JPEG book for programmers This book is a "must have" for anyone interested in understanding the JPEG standard. It has two distinct parts. The second half is the JPEG standard itself. It contains all the technical details of how JPEG works, including pseudocode flow charts, and test data to verify JPEG compliance. The first half is the author's (less formal) understanding of the JPEG standard, where he explains the ...             Data Compression: The Complete Reference5 reviews David Salomon Springer, 2006 An undiscovered gem of compression algorithm details This book covers a needed middle ground between the more formal books on the subject such as Sayood's "Introduction To Data Compression" and easy programmer-oriented books such as Nelson's "The Data Compression Book". This book is an encyclopedia of compression methods that briefly describes the technique of each method, along with any required math, and then shows the algorithm. Code is not ...             The Data Compression Book8 reviews Mark Nelson, Jean-Loup Gailly M&T Books, 1995 The best book for programmers needing algorithms not theory. This book did a better job than any other of teaching me sliding window dictionary encoding and adaptive huffman encoding. It got right to the point in an easy to understand fashon. There was no thick cloud of theory masking the information I needed. Read this book before you read others on the subject of data compression.             Introduction to Data Compression, Third Edition (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Multimedia Information and Systems)14 reviews Khalid Sayood Morgan Kaufmann, 2005 A great textbook This book has all the ingredients for a great textbook.
