Topics

Source Coding

Scalar quantization is a process that maps all inputs within a specified range to a common value.

Arithmetic Coding

Arithmetic coding offers a way to compress data and can be useful for data sources having a small alphabet.

Compand a Signal

In certain applications, such as speech processing, it is common to use a logarithm computation, called a compressor, before quantizing.

Differential Pulse Code Modulation

Learn about differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) and how it is used as a predictive quantization method.

Huffman Coding

Learn how to apply Huffman coding to your data.

Quantization

Scalar quantization is a process that maps all inputs within a specified range to a common value.
