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 ...

While HPC and cloud computing users may initially be nervous about using lossy compression, they should also remember the compelling benefit of lossy compression: a controllable way to reduce ...

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 ...
