2. 2 Data Compression and techniques

3.  The idea of Compression  Lossless and lossy Compression RLE method LZW method Computer Sciences Department3 Objectives

4.  Compression is the art of representing the information in a compact form rather than its original.  Benefits:  Reduce the size of data.  Reduces storage space and storage cost.  Reduces time to retrieve and transmit data Computer Sciences Department4 Data Compression

5. Thus a representation that compresses a 10MB file to 2MB has a compression ratio of 10/2 = 5, often notated as an explicit ratio, 5:1 = five in one Computer Sciences Department5 Compression Ratio Compression Ratio is the ratio between the size of the compressed file and the size of the source file. Thus a representation that compresses a 10MB file to 2MB has a compression ratio of 2/10 = 0.2 = 5:1

6.  Saving Percentage % : calculates the shrinkage of the source file as a percentage. Computer Sciences Department6 Saving Percentage

7.  compressedData = compress(originalData)  decompressedData = decompress(compressedData)  if originalData = decompressedData, the compression is lossless.  If originalData != decompressedData, the compression is lossy. Computer Sciences Department7 Lossless and lossy Compression - 1 Procedure

8.  Lossless compression is essential in applications such as text file compression.  Popular text compressors such as zip and Unix’s compress are based on the LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) method.  Lossy compression is acceptable in many imaging applications (multimedia).

11. It checks whether there are any repeating symbols or not, and is based on those redundancies and their lengths. Computer Sciences Department11 Run Length Encoding Algorithm

12. Computer Sciences Department12 Example - RLE

13.  Character sequences in the original text are replaced by codes that are dynamically determined.  The code table is not encoded into the compressed text, because it may be reconstructed from the compressed text during decompression.  Compression is done by scanning the original text from left to right then Create the code table.

16.  Compression:  O(n) expected time, where n is the length of the text that is being compressed.  Decompression:  O(n) time, where n is the length of the decompressed text. Computer Sciences Department16 Time Complexity

17.  Some of the main lossless data compression techniques are the Huffman Coding, Run Length Encoding, Arithmetic Encoding and Dictionary Based Encoding……etc.  Time Complexity of Compression and Decompression…… Computer Sciences Department17 Conclusion
