3 Error Resilience
Encoding schemes can be designed to be resilient to errors
introduced during transmission. This can be achieved by
incorporating error correction codes and using robust
Tpes of source coding
Two Types of Source (Image) Coding
• Lossless coding (entropy coding) – Data can be decoded to form exactly the same
bits – Used in “zip” – Can only achieve moderate compression (e.g. 2:1 - 3:1) for
natural images – Can be important in certain applications such as medical imaging
• Lossly source coding – Decompressed image is visually similar, but has been
changed – Used in “JPEG” and “MPEG” – Can achieve much greater compression (e.g.
20:1 - 40:1) for natural images – Uses entropy coding
