  Lossless data compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data.
Lossless data compression is used in software compression tools such as the highly popular ZIP file format, used by PKZIP, WinZip, and Mac OS X, and the Unix programs bzip2, gzip and compress.
Lossless compression is used when it is important that the original and the decompressed data be identical, or when no assumption can be made on whether certain deviation is uncritical.

 Data compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One popular instance of compression that many computer users are familiar with is the ZIP file format, which, as well as providing compression, acts as an archiver, storing many files in a single output file.
In practice lossy data compression will also come to a point where compressing again does not work, although an extremely lossy algorithm, which for example always removes the last byte of a file, will always compress a file up to the point where it is empty.
One very simple means of compression, for example, is run-length encoding, wherein large runs of consecutive identical data values are replaced by a simple code with the data value and length of the run.

 [1.0] Introduction / Lossless Data Compression   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Lossless data compression is used when the data has to be uncompressed exactly as it was before compression.
Lossless compression ratios are generally in the range of 2:1 to 8:1.
Data compression literature also often refers to data compression as data "encoding", and of course that means data decompression is often called "decoding".

 Theory of Data Compression
Lossless data compression theory and rate-distortion theory are known collectively as source coding theory.
Compression rate is the rate of the compressed data (which we imagined to be transmitted in ``real-time'').
Compression ratio is the ratio of the size or rate of the original data to the size or rate of the compressed data.

 Lossless Wavelet Compression
Lossless compression algorithms are used to compress data where loss cannot be tolerated.
If there was no noise in the deterministic data the magic compression algorithm could compress the data set to a small set of values, consisting of the initial starting state and the length of the data set to be generated.
A lossy compression algorithm might be appropriate for the image compression used for Web page images, but it would be totally unacceptable for compressing the data from a chemistry experiment or a financial time series.

Maximum Compression's goal is to show the maximum achievable compression ratio for several filetypes (text, executable etc).
THOR 0.3a and QazaR both have better compression while THOR, written in Delphi(!), is also faster then previous version; it now clocks a compression speed of almost 43 MB/s in MFC test.
In the multiple file compression section there now is a ranking based on efficiency of the compressors (please note there is still a lot of work to do here, like testing other programs, improving layout etc...).

Like other lossless compression schemes the data reduction varies with the source, but it is generally between 25% and 50% for typical popular music and somewhat better than that for classical music and other sources with greater dynamic range.

 Lossless Data Compression
The main objective of this page is to introduce two important lossless compression algorithms: Huffman Coding and Lempel-Ziv Coding.
This is because the length of the input data in the example is too short.
In practice, the Lempel-Ziv algorithm works well (lead to actual compression) only when the input data is sufficiently large and there are sufficient redundancy in the data.

 ITinfo: Lossless Data Compression
ZeoSync Corp., based in West Palm Beach, Florida is a scientific research company that yesterday announced that it has been able to compress data in a way that ensures there is no loss of fidelity without removing redundant data.
Lossless data compression is the process by which digital information is compacted, stored and then restored to its original format without losing or changing the information.
Around the office, we test each new compression tool that becomes readily available for two attributes: 1) a greater lossless compression ratio and 2) speed and efficiency of use.

The first one is to analyze and compress (encode) any given file, and the second one is to decompress (decode) the compressed output of the first so as to recover the original file.
The purpose of this project is limited in that you are not expected to spend too much effort on such modeling and implementation issues, but on correct encoding and decoding with your method of choice.
The report is to also contain compression results obtained on files of different types and sizes, as well as a discussion of these results.

Here are the results of tests performed in August 2002 to compare lossless compression of "plain" texts by all known good enough programs developed for such purpose, including UHArc, PPMd, Bzip2, RAR, ACE and 7-zip.
Compression time is divided by 10 here, because more than 90% of people would never compress anything during their life (with compression programs), but they use compressed data almost _every_ time they use computers and/or Internet.
That's why compression time is not so actual for them.

 Lossless data compression with low complexity (US6125348)
The accuracy of the linear predictor is improved by including, in the prediction of a current sample of a first channel of the digitized signal, look-ahead sample data from a corresponding second channel of the digitized signal.
Since correlated channels of a digitized signal have a relatively high degree of correlation, accuracy of sample prediction is improved and residuals between the predicted samples and actual samples are reduced, thereby reducing the amount of data required to represent the residuals.
In reconstructing the encoded samples, a decoder uses a current reconstructed sample of the first channel of a digitized signal to predict a current sample of the second corresponding channel.

 Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The ALDC (Adaptive Lossless Data Compression) algorithm is one variant of the LZ1 (Lempel-Ziv 1) class of data compression algorithms, first proposed by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv in 1977.
The encoder does this using the input data it receives for compression, while the decoder generates an identical data stream as its output, which it also uses for the update process.
ALDC is a lossless algorithm, insuring that the decompressed data output is exactly the same as the uncompressed data input.

 MobiSys '03 Technical Program - Abstract
We show that with several typical compression tools, there is a net energy increase when compression is applied before transmission.
We also explore the fact that, for many usage models, compression and decompression need not be performed by the same algorithm.
Compared with a system using a single optimized application for both compression and decompression, the asymmetric scheme saves 11% or 12% of the total energy depending on the dataset.

 Universal Source Encoding for Science Data (USES) Lossless Data Compression Technique   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Universal Source Encoding for Science Data (USES), originally developed as Universal Source Encoding for Space (aka, USES), is a lossless data compression technique best suited for science data of various instruments.
It compresses science data into smaller volume and after decompression (decoding) is applied, the reconstructed data is EXACTLY the original data, no distortion of even one single bit is incurred in the whole process.
It was later fully analyzed and enhanced by a research group at Goddard Space Flight Center in the late 80's and early 90's.
