Compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by removing redundancy and irrelevancy. Redundancy occurs when data is sent when it’s not needed. Irrelevancy frequently occurs in audio and ...

Images transmitted over the world wide web are an excellent example of why data compression is important. Suppose we need to download a digitized color photograph over a computer's 33.6 kbps modem. If ...

Google just launched Zopfli, a new open source compression algorithm that can compress web content about 3 to eight 8 more densely (PDF) than the standard zlib library. Because Zopfli is compatible ...

Because video clips are made up of sequences of individual images, or “frames,” video compression algorithms share many concepts and techniques with still-image compression algorithms. Therefore, we ...

A 3.0X times image compression method and fast storage device accessing H.265 referencing image frame is achieved by applying fixed bit rate to reduce each “Block of pixels” data of each image frame.

Music streaming and image / video transfer are technologies that are indispensable in modern society, but in order to use these technologies, it is indispensable to 'compress a huge file size to a ...

Google has introduced a new data compression algorithm, which the company believes will make the Internet faster for all users. Known as Zopfli, the open-source algorithm is said to increase data ...
