Recent Trends in Lossy Source Coding

Tamás Linder, Gábor Lugosi, and Kenneth Zeger

Abstract

A survey is given of some recent areas of interest in lossy source coding, that is, source coding relative to a fidelity criterion. In particular we discuss some recent results in rate-distortion theory, universal coding, and vector quantization techniques, and we indicate some current open problems.
