Distributed Source Coding

The advent of wireless sensor technology and mobile ad-hoc networks has stimulated considerable interest and research into distributed source coding (DSC). In conventional source coding a single encoder compresses signals from one source; DSC, however, involves compressing multiple signal sources, and has applications in distributed wireless video sensors for surveillance, digital security, mobile video phones and sensor networks.This book, edited and written by the leading experts in the field, gives the latest theory, practical algorithms and applications, making it an authoritative and complete resource for signal and image processing systems designers and implementers, researchers and graduate students.
