At the same time, the appearance of highly integrated elements has made more and more com- plicated algorithms feasible. It is in the fields of speech and image trans- mission and the transmission and storage of biological signals (e.g., ECG, Body Surface Mapping) where the demand for DC algorithms is greatest. There is, however, a substantial gap between the theory and the practice of DC: an essentially nonconstructive information theoretical attitude and the attractive mathematics of source coding theory are contrasted with a mixture of ad hoc engineering methods. The classical Shannonian infor- mation theory is fundamentally different from the world of practical pro- cedures. Theory places great emphasis on block-coding while practice is overwhelmingly dominated by theoretically intractable, mostly differential- predictive coding (DPC), algorithms. A dialogue between theory and practice has been hindered by two pro- foundly different conceptions of a data source: practice, mostly because of speech compression considerations, favors non stationary models, while the theory deals mostly with stationary ones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280341819543,"sku":"9781461386513","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461386513.webp?v=1769296050","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/recursive-source-coding-a-theory-for-the-practice-of-waveform-coding-9781461386513","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
