Topic: LZSS


  
  LZSS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LZSS is a lossless data compression algorithm, a derivative of LZ77, that was created in 1982 by James Storer and Thomas Szymanski.
Unlike Huffman coding, which attempts to reduce the average amount of bits required to represent a symbol, LZSS attempts to replace a string of symbols with a reference to a dictionary location of the same string.
Furthermore, LZSS uses one-bit flags to indicate whether the next chunk of data is a literal (byte) or a reference to an offset/length pair.

LZSS is described as the "first" of these, and is described as providing moderate compression with good speed.
LZARI is described as an improved LZSS, a combination of the LZSS algorithm with adaptive arithmetic compression.
LZSS is the fastest at decompression, but does not generated as small a compressed file as the other methods.

 LZSS - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
LZSS is lossless data compression algorithm and it is a derivate of LZ77.
It is intended that the dictionary reference should be shorter than the string it replaces.
In the case of LZ77, the predecessor to LZSS, that wasn't always the case.

 heath-rohc-sip-v44-00.txt
A typical [LZ78] compression algorithm, such as LZW, is not suitable for application in a packet network since it takes too long to build up its dictionary, resulting in poor compression ratios on IP datagrams that are compressed separately.
Note that at this writing, the author does not have a version of LZSS using binary trees for speed measurement, thus, a variant of LZSS is used for the speed measurements, LZS which uses hash tables and is faster than LZSS.
The LZSS decoder should be as fast as the LZJH decoder and the LZW decoder should be slower by about a facter of 2.

 LZSS (LZ77) Discussion and Implementation
The LZSS algorithm and it's predecessor LZ77 attempt to compress series of strings by converting the strings into a dictionary offset and string length.
Further discussion of LZSS with links to other documentation and libraries may be found at http://datacompression.info/LZSS.shtml.
Use traditional LZSS encoding where the coded/uncoded flags precede the symbol they are associated with, rather than aggregating the bits.

 Hacking Data Compression - Lesson 11
Recall that LZ77 was introduced in 1977, and LZSS was published in 1982.
Before you shout "three", keep in mind that an LZSS pointer for a two-byte match is 16 bits + 1 tag bit, whereas two characters would take 16 bits + 2 tag bits...
As with LZSS, the threshold is subtracted from the match length, so that the lengths start at zero.

 Hacking Data Compression - Lesson 10
Instead, LZSS (named after the two authors of the paper) uses a free mix of pointers and characters.
Incidentally, the fact that the original LZSS code and the class code take the same arguments on the command line is not coincidental.
This allows the pointer's position to be represented in 12 bits (0-4095), and the string length to fit in the remaining 4 (3-18, offset by 3).

LZSS This section provides UDVM bytecode for the simple but effective LZSS compression algorithm [6].
The principal improvement offered by LZSS over LZ77 is that each compressed character begins with a 1-bit indicator flag to specify whether the character is a literal or an offset/length pair.

In the spring of 1988, I wrote a very simple data compression program named LZSS in C language, and uploaded it to the Science SIG (forum) of PC-VAN, Japan's biggest personal computer network.
The adaptive version of the algorithm removes this restriction by first supposing uniform or any agreed-upon distribution of characters that approximates the true distribution, and then updating the distribution after each character is sent and received.
Among these, perhaps character "e" appears more frequently than "x", and a [position, length] pair of length 3 might be commoner than one of length 18, say.

 Compression and Archiving Tools
Compress compresses several files using the LZSS compression technique and packs them into a single archive file.
LZSS uses a dictionary-based compression scheme: it uses previously seen text as a dictionary and replaces phrases in the input text with pointers into the dictionary to achieve compression.
This makes LZSS an excellent choice for data that needs to be compressed once and expanded many times.

 Echo BASIC - Data Compression
LZSS is basically an opimization of LZ77, in speed and efficiency(there's more to it, of course, but you get the idea).
After the file is codes with LZSS, the LZSS output is then coded with a statistical modeling scheme, such as Shannon-Fano (like PKZip) or Huffman (like ARJ and LHA) coding, to achieve "state of the art" compression.
This was all off the top of my head, but you should hopefully get the general idea of it.
