The ubiquitous JPEG looks like it will be getting a major feature boost in the not too distant future. The Independent JPEG Group at the Leipzig Institute for Applied Informatics has released version ...

Image compression is an essential technique for efficient transmission and storage of images. The demands for transmission and storage of multimedia data are increasing exponentially. A gray scale ...

Determining the best fitting lossless image format for a specific application is a process involving the examination of multiple variables in order to make an informed decision. From the compression ...

This paper discusses the hardware implementation of an encoder and a decoder for the QOI lossless RGB image format. Some results are given for the AMD/Xilinx architecture, reaching over 800 Mpixels/s ...

Brother and sister team Peter Ma and Nancy Ghaly presented Piper Pied, a lossless compression algorithm for online images, at the Disrupt NY Hackathon today. The startup is a “creative spin” on Pied ...

There are two categories of data compression. The first reduces the size of a single file to save storage space and transmit faster. The second is for storage and transmission convenience. The JPEG ...

We all know that we need to compress a large file if we want to transfer or send it to someone. But have you ever thought about what happens to a file when it is compressed? How does the size of a ...
