David salomon data compression pdf

The compression efficiency depends on the data, but not on the amount of data available for compression.
The method does not improve by applying it to vast quantities of data.
Table 1.18 is an example.
The data consists of ten 7-bit integers.

Such a method may be calledsemiadaptive.
A data compression method can also belocally adaptive, meaning it adapts itself to local conditions in the input stream and varies this adaptation as it moves from area to area in the input.
An example is the move-to-front method (Section 1.5).

Historically, data compression was not one of the first fields of computer science.
It seems that workers in the field needed the first 20 to 25 years to develop enough data before they felt the need for compression.
Today, when the computer field is about 50 years old, data compression is a large and active field, as well as big business.
