Modern video coding architectures are at the forefront of addressing the increasing demands for efficient data compression, high-resolution broadcasting, and real-time processing in a global ...

It’s almost comical how surprised we are at the pitfalls of artificial intelligence (AI). After all, we’ve been making movies for decades warning against the dangerous potential of sentient machines.

In the field of computer science, there is perhaps no more fundamental task than to sort. Bubble, heap, merge—take your pick. The methods for reordering data inside a computer have been theorized to ...

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.

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...
