Transforms for Video Compression, Part 3: The DCT and Why Transforming Is Valuable

By Mike Perkins
The use of transforms in data compression algorithms is at least 40 years old. The goal of this three-part series of posts is to provide the mathematical background necessary for understanding transforms and to explain why they are a valuable part of many compression algorithms. I’m focusing on video since that’s my particular interest. Part... View Article
