Google is open-sourcing a new general purpose data compression library called Zopfli that can be used to speed up Web downloads. The Zopfli Compression Algorithm, which got its name from a Swiss bread ...

In addition to the Linux kernel's Zstd compression code being improved, the LZ4 compression code within the kernel tree is ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...

Coding, information theory and compression provide a unified framework for quantifying, transmitting and summarising data. At its heart lies the concept of entropy, which measures the average ...

The Layer II coder provides a higher compression rate by making some relatively minor modifications to the Layer I coding scheme. These modifications include how the samples are grouped together, the ...
