Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.

Researchers in Slovakia benchmarked five lossless compression algorithms directly on an STM32 microcontroller, revealing ...

We use compression algorithms extensively to save both storage and time. The most popular algorithms are based on LZ dictionary compression and are used in GIF, Deflate, Zip, PNG. It was even named an ...

It’s not Pied Piper, but there are similarities. The “middle-out” algorithm that has its roots in the most infamous (and probably funniest) scene in HBO’s “Silicon Valley” may have been fictional, but ...

The goal of digital compression algorithms is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum ...

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 ...

Russian scientists have developed a neural network compression technology that reduces the need for computational resources and memory for language models with minimal loss of accuracy. Against the ...

Google has released a new data compression algorithm it hopes will make the Internet faster for everyone. Dubbed Zopfli, the open-source algorithm will accelerate data transfer speeds and reduce Web ...
