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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-11-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461386513\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-8649-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 102.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422564380812,"sku":"9781461386513","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461386513.jpg?v=1756271168","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461386513","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
