An updated and translated version of our German paper “Proseminar Datenkompression - Arithmetische Kodierung” from 2001. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first comprehensive paper that describes the whole way from the basic principles of AC up to a simple implementation, fully documented with C++ source code.

Advanced Image Coding (AIC) is an experimental still image compression system
that combines algorithms from the H.264 and JPEG standards. More specifically,
it combines intra frame block prediction from H.264 with a JPEG-style discrete
cosine transform, followed by context adaptive binary arithmetic coding as used
in H.264. The result is a compression scheme that performs much better than JPEG
and close to JPEG-2000.

APT (Adaptive Prediction Trees) image coding supersedes BTPC (Binary Tree Predictive Coding). It is a general-purpose compression scheme for all types of still image. It does both lossless and lossy compression of monochrome and color images from 1 to 16 bits per component. Its performance on all image types is often close to that of the best alternative.

In this article, I examine an indexing method that lets you find any character sequence in the source text in time only proportional to the sequence length using a structure that can compress the entire source text and index into less space than the text alone. This technique is exceptionally fast at detecting and counting occurrences of any string in the source text.

Course notes of a JPEG 2000 short course given at the International
Conference in Image Processing (ICIP). By Dr. Majid Rabbani and Diego Santa-Cruz. The course covers image coding principles, a review of JPEG and all the main elements of JPEG 2000: wavelet transform, entropy coding, bitstream structure, error resilience, functionality, performance evaluation, etc.
