People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the ...

[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format, which ...

Many of today's embedded systems are providing more sophisticated solutions to a wide variety of applications and industries. With this increase in sophistication, there is a corresponding increase in ...

Common audio data formats such as the Compact Disc generally store a two-channel (stereo) audio signal. The left and fight channel data streams are stored entirely independently. Various new data ...

One student’s desire to get out of a final exam led to the ubiquitous algorithm that shrinks data without sacrificing information. With more than 9 billion gigabytes of information traveling the ...

Effective compression is about finding patterns to make data smaller without losing information. When an algorithm or model can accurately guess the next piece of data in a sequence, it shows it’s ...
