Abstract
The applications of digital data compression and the major components of compression systems are described. Data modeling is discussed, and the role of entropy and data statistics is examined. Gray-scale image modeling is used to illustrate some of these mechanisms. The coding mechanisms are examined, and prefix codes are explained. Arithmetic coding is considered.<>
