SPEED
INTRODUCTION
This presentation explores efficient
data compression techniques to
optimize storage and speed. We will
delve into various methods and their
impact on performance and capacity.
1) LOSSLESS
COMPRESSION
• Utilizing algorithms such as LZW
and DEFLATE, lossless
compression reduces file size
without sacrificing data integrity.
• This technique is crucial for
preserving original data during
storage and transmission.
2. LOSSY
COMPRESSION
• W ith JPEG and MP3 being prime
examples, lossy compression selectively
discards data to achieve higher
compression ratios.
• This method is ideal for multimedia files
where minor data loss is acceptable.
3) RUN-LENGTH
ENCODING
• Run-Length Encoding (RLE)
reduces redundancy by
replacing repeated data with a
count and a single instance.
• This straight forward technique
is efficient for compressing
sequences of identical values.
4) HUFFMAN
CODING
• Huffman coding assigns variable-
length codes to input characters, with
shorter codes for more frequent
characters.
• This method efficiently represents
data with varying frequencies.
5) DICTIONARY
COMPRESSION
• By replacing repetitive data with
references to a shared
dictionary, this technique
reduces redundancy and
enhances compression. LZ77
and LZ78 algorithms are
notable examples of this
approach.
6) Burrows-Wheeler
Transform
• The Burrows-Wheeler
transform rearranges data
to increase the frequency of
repeated characters,
facilitating more effective
compression using
subsequent techniques
such as Move-to-Front and
Run- Length Encoding.
7) Arithmetic
Coding
• Arithmetic coding maps a
string of symbols to a
single fractional number,
resulting in high
compression ratios. This
method is particularly
effective for sequential
data with varying symbol
frequencies.
8) DATA COMPRESSION
CHALLENGES
• Despite the benefits, data compression
introduces challenges such as
processing overhead and potential
loss of data quality. Balancing
compression efficiency with
computational resources is crucial.
