Description
The advent of wireless sensor technology and ad-hoc networks has made DSC a major field of interest. Edited and written by the leading
players in the field, this book presents the latest theory, algorithms and applications, making it the definitive reference on DSC for
systems designers and implementers, researchers, and graduate students.
This book gives a clear understanding of the performance
limits of distributed source coders for specific classes of sources and presents the design and application of practical algorithms for
realistic scenarios. Material covered includes the use of standard channel codes, such as LDPC and Turbo codes, to DSC, and discussion
of the suitability of compressed sensing for distributed compression of sparse signals. Extensive applications are presented and include
distributed video coding, microphone arrays and securing biometric data.
This book is a great resource covering the breadth
and depth of distributed source coding that’s appropriate for everyone from theoreticians to practitioners. – Richard Baraniuk,
