Data compression techniques and applications

Abstract
Several data compression methods are reviewed for signal and image digital processing and transmission, including both established and more recent techniques. Methods of prediction-interpolation, differential pulse code modulation, delta modulation and transformations are examined in some detail. The processing of two-dimensional data is also considered.Results of the application of these techniques to space telemetry and biomedical digital signal processing and telemetry systems are presented.Some of the considerations and comparison criteria presented, even though not completely general because extracted from experimental results, can be useful in selecting and defining the more pertinent data compression system for the different practical applications.
