Compression is the science of making data representations smaller, in order to decrease the data's bandwidth and storage requirements. Compression applications are everywhere: in computers (WinZip and ...

Innovative compression algorithms can improve today�s high-speed data sampling. Compression algorithms have enabled many popular applications over the years. We cannot imagine sending e-mail ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

Yes, I understand why the initial compression of a bitmap (not necessarily a .BMP) to a JPEG is lossy, via the quantization step after DCT. But if I decompress a JPEG back to a new bitmap, and then re ...

Hyperspectral image compression techniques have become increasingly critical in modern remote sensing, where sensors collect vast spectral cubes composed of hundreds of contiguous bands. These ...

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression was a highly practical ...
