Change of Basis, Image Compression, and Transformation
In this lecture on Change of Basis, Image Compression, and Transformation, the focus is on how change of basis is used in real-world applications. The example of image compression is used to demonstrate how choosing a better basis can save a lot of space while still preserving the integrity of the image. The lecture goes on to explain how the matrix used to describe a linear transformation with respect to coordinates is connected to the linear transformation itself. The Fourier basis is also introduced as the best-known basis for image compression, and the use of wavelets as a competing basis is briefly mentioned.

Staff Review
A good video explanation of some applications of change of basis of matrices. Some applications include transformations and matrices that describe these transformations and image and video compression techniques using matrices.
