Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy . [ 1 ]
Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) is a universal lossless data compression algorithm created by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv, and Terry Welch.It was published by Welch in 1984 as an improved implementation of the LZ78 algorithm published by Lempel and Ziv in 1978.
Compression ratios are around 50–60% of the original size, [48] which is similar to those for generic lossless data compression. Lossless codecs use curve fitting or linear prediction as a basis for estimating the signal. Parameters describing the estimation and the difference between the estimation and the actual signal are coded separately.
LZ77 and LZ78 are the two lossless data compression algorithms published in papers by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv in 1977 [1] and 1978. [2] They are also known as LZ1 and LZ2 respectively. [3] These two algorithms form the basis for many variations including LZW, LZSS, LZMA and others.
The Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LZMA) is an algorithm used to perform lossless data compression.It has been under development since either 1996 or 1998 by Igor Pavlov [citation needed] and was first used in the 7z format of the 7-Zip archiver.
AppleFSCompression.framework (AFSC), the mechanism for quasi-transparent compression in HFS Plus and Apple File System, supports LZFSE and LZVN since OS X 10.9.. Apple's Disk Images framework has offered an LZFSE-based encoding called ULFO since Mac OS X 10.11, [9] accessible via hdiutil(1) [10] and some third-party image utilities.
LZ4 is a lossless data compression algorithm that is focused on compression and decompression speed. It belongs to the LZ77 family of byte-oriented compression schemes.
