Résumé

Entropy, the key factor of information theory, is one of the most important research areas in computer science. Entropy coding informs us of the formal limits of today’s storage and communication infrastructure. Over the last few years, entropy has become an important trade-off measure in signal processing. Entropy measures especially have been used in image and video processing by applying sparsity and are able to help us to solve several of the issues that we are currently facing. As the daily produced data are increasing rapidly, a more effective approach to encode or compress the big data is required. In this sense, applications of entropy coding can improve image and video coding, imaging, quality assessment in agricultural products, and product inspection, by applying more effective coding approaches. In light of these and many other challenges, a Special Issue of Entropy-Based Algorithms for Signal Processing has been dedicated to address the current status, challenges, and future research priorities for the entropy of signal processing.
