When designers talk about data compression these days, typically they are thinking about highly-evolved lossy compression algorithms for particular media data types: MP-3 for audio, for example, or ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

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 ...

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 ...
