  2. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:

  3. Image compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

    Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.

  4. Data compression - Wikipedia

    [2] [47] The acceptable trade-off between loss of audio quality and transmission or storage size depends upon the application. For example, one 640 MB compact disc (CD) holds approximately one hour of uncompressed high fidelity music, less than 2 hours of music compressed losslessly, or 7 hours of music compressed in the MP3 format at a medium ...

  5. Image file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_format

    This characteristic sometimes results in a smaller file size for some lossless formats than lossy formats. For example, graphically simple images (i.e. images with large continuous regions like line art or animation sequences) may be losslessly compressed into a GIF or PNG format and result in a smaller file size than a lossy JPEG format.

    This is due to older software using 32-bit integers for file indexing, which limits file sizes to 2^31 bytes (2 GB) (for signed integers), or 2^32 (4 GB) (for unsigned integers). Older C programming libraries have this 2 or 4 GB limit, but the newer file libraries have been converted to 64-bit integers thus supporting file sizes up to 2^63 or 2 ...

  7. LZ77 and LZ78 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78

    Decompression consists of rebuilding the dictionary from the compressed sequence. From the sequence 0A1B0B1$ the first entry is always the terminator 0 {...} , and the first from the sequence would be 1 {0,A} . The A is added to the output. The second pair from the input is 1B and results in entry number 2 in the dictionary, {1,B}. The token "B ...

  8. gzip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip

    gzip is a file format and a software application used for file compression and decompression.The program was created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler as a free software replacement for the compress program used in early Unix systems, and intended for use by GNU (from which the "g" of gzip is derived).

  9. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    Together with F, this makes 2 N +1 files that all compress into one of the 2 N files of length N. But 2 N is smaller than 2 N +1, so by the pigeonhole principle there must be some file of length N that is simultaneously the output of the compression function on two different inputs. That file cannot be decompressed reliably (which of the two ...
