2. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

   Lossless compression. 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] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only ...

3. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   Developing lossy compression techniques as closely matched to human perception as possible is a complex task. Sometimes the ideal is a file that provides exactly the same perception as the original, with as much digital information as possible removed; other times, perceptible loss of quality is considered a valid tradeoff.

4. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   Data compression. In information theory, data compression, source coding, [1] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [2] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.

5. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

   The best image quality at a given compression rate (or bit rate) is the main goal of image compression, however, there are other important properties of image compression schemes: Scalability generally refers to a quality reduction achieved by manipulation of the bitstream or file (without decompression and re-compression).

6. JPEG compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG

   JPEG (/ ˈdʒeɪpɛɡ / JAY-peg, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group) [2] is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.

7. Lempel–Ziv–Welch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel–Ziv–Welch

   Lempel–Ziv–Welch. 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. The algorithm is simple to implement and has the potential for very ...
