Study Notes
Data Compression
- The process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation is called compression.
Types of Compression
- Lossy compression reduces bits by removing unnecessary or less important information.
- Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.
Decompression
- The device that performs the reversal of the data compression process is called a decompressor.
Data Reduction
- The process of reducing the size of a data file is often referred to as data compression or file compression.
