Music streaming and image / video transfer are technologies that are indispensable in modern society, but in order to use these technologies, it is indispensable to 'compress a huge file size to a ...

Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.

Lossless data compression plays a vital role in addressing the growth in data volumes, real-time processing demands, and bandwidth constraints that modern systems face. Dr. Sotiropoulou will deliver ...

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 ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

Over the past few years there has been a remarkable progress in the quality of display devices, with 4K displays becoming the norm, and 8K and 10K displays following closely. However, this increase in ...

Compression is front and center at Facebook’s annual @Scale conference in San Jose. The social networking giant open-sourced a homegrown algorithm called Zstandard at the event today that is described ...

Lossless delivers the highest quality audio on Spotify, allowing users to stream playlists in up to 24-bit/44,1 kHz FLAC.

I see awful diminishing returns here. (Lossless) compression of today isn't really that much better than products from the 80s and early 90s - stacker (wasn't it?), pkzip, tar, gz. You get maybe a few ...

Spotify is about to sound better for millions of people. Four years after Spotify originally planned to introduce ...

Part 2 benchmarks the compression algorithms. It will be published July 20. Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are generating a huge and rapidly growing flood ...
