Comparisons of theoretical limits for source coding with practical compression algorithms
Abstract
The performance achieved by some specific data compression algorithms is compared with absolute limits prescribed by rate distortion theory for Gaussian sources under the mean square error distortion criterion. These results show the gains available from source coding and can be used as a reference for the evaluation of future compression schemes. Some current schemes perform well, but there is still room for improvement.
