[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format, which ...

People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the ...

A new study in Multimedia Tools and Applications presents two hybrid image compression schemes, HLL1 and HLL2, that combine ...

Compute Unit Stalls: When data is not supplied in a timely manner from memory, even high-performance NPU cores are forced to stall while waiting for data, resulting in a substantial drop in overall ...

The word ‘lossless’ sounds like it describes audio with no compression used. But lossless audio compression is a thing. Here’s a quick primer. Lossless audio formats use compression algorithms to ...

Common audio data formats such as the Compact Disc generally store a two-channel (stereo) audio signal. The left and fight channel data streams are stored entirely independently. Various new data ...

File archiving software is another handy tool for compressing multiple files into a single archive with minimal loss in quality. These programs allow you to group related files together and apply ...

For storage and transmission of large image files it is desirable to reduce the file size. For consumer-grade images this is achieved by lossy image compression when image details not very noticeable ...

Compression is performed by a program that uses a formula or algorithm to determine how to shrink the size of the data. For instance, an algorithm may represent a string of bits-- or 0s and 1s -- with ...

Understanding the world of digital audio formats can be a bit confusing, with an array of different file types and codecs in use. Among these, lossless audio holds a special place, promising ...

As mentioned previously, the characteristics of typical audio signals vary from time to time and therefore we must expect the required bit rate for lossless compression to vary as well. Since the bit ...
