This book provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical treatment of lossy compression techniques for multimedia — including speech, audio, image, and video data. It covers foundational topics like analog-to-digital conversion and rate-distortion theory, then moves to practical methods such as transform coding, wavelet filtering, speech/audio codecs, and modern standards (e.g. H.264, JPEG-2000, MPEG, etc.). The text balances rigorous information-theoretic analysis with real-world compression system design, making it a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working on multimedia encoding, storage, and transmission
