There are generic compression algorithms available, including Google’s open source Brotli. Lepton, written primarily in C++, is tuned to work with images, and it cuts off 22 percent of file size ...

"I began experimenting with file-compression algorithms to see if we could shrink files to the point where they could be sent over standard phone lines," he said.

Google just launched Zopfli, a new open source compression algorithm that can compress web content about three to eight percent more densely (PDF) than the standard zlib library. Because Zopfli is ...

But algorithms used on the Linux command line to compress or archive user files have to be able to reproduce the original content exactly. In other words, they have to be lossless. How is that done?

People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the ...

MIT researchers could speed up file compression using an improved Fourier transform algorithm A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image ...

A British startup says it has achieved a breakthrough in data compression with a new tool which it claims can deliver up to 65% lossless file reduction.

The compression technique they ended up implementing is based on the F5 algorithm that embeds binary data into JPEG files to reduce total space in the memory.

An algorithm based on scale-specific quantization of biorthogonal wavelet coefficients was developed for the compression of high-resolution digitized mammograms.
