What is data compression? It is the process of process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation would use.
What is a data compression ratio? Data Compression ratio is also known as a compression power, it is a computer science term used to quantify the reduction in data-representation size produced by a data compression algorithm.
Why is data compression an important technique for the online world? Data compression is important online because when someone is trying to upload an image, file or video a website normally has a size limit which is when data copmpression comes in handy. Data compression allows us to make the image or video smaller to fit the data size the website allows.
What is the difference between Lossy and Lossless data compression? Lossy data compression is a encoding method which compresses data by losing some of the original data. Lossless data allows the exact original data to be reconstructed by the compressed data. Lossy data only allows an approximation of the original data to be reconstructed, in exchange for better compression rates.
Which method offers the greatest compression ratio? The method that offers the greatest compression ratio is lossy compression. The compression ratio of lossy video codecs are generally better than audio and still-image.
The video can be compressed at a 100:1 ratio
Audio can often be compressed at a 10:1
Still images are also often compressed at a 10:1 ratio.
The compression rate of lossy compression is about 5-6% while the rate of lossless compression ranges from 50 60%.
