Because video clips are made up of sequences of individual images, or “frames,” video compression algorithms share many concepts and techniques with still-image compression algorithms. Therefore, we ...

Video compression has become an essential technology to meet the burgeoning demand for high‐resolution content while maintaining manageable file sizes and transmission speeds. Recent advances in ...

This method will allow for higher compression ratios and is useful if the lost data has minimal effect on the decompressed output. Typical applications for lossy compression include audio and video ...

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 ...

In previous episodes of this long-running series looking at the world of high-quality audio, at every point we’ve stayed in the real world of physical audio hardware. From the human ear to the ...
