Implement Huffman Coding, a greedy algorithm used in file compression (ZIP, JPEG, etc.) that encodes data based on character frequency. Count frequency of each character. Build a min-heap tree based ...

Abstract: High-speed cameras are crucial for capturing fast events beyond human perception, although challenges in terms of storage, bandwidth, and cost hinder their widespread use. As an alternative, ...

OpenZL delivers high compression ratios while preserving high speed, a level of performance that is out of reach for generic compressors. Check out the blog post and whitepaper for a breakdown of how ...
