Wikipedia

  1. Image compression

    Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.

  1. image compression

    Image compression is a process that reduces the amount of data required to represent or store a digital image. This is typically achieved by removing the redundant and irrelevant parts of the image information, allowing the image to be stored or transmitted in an efficiently compressed form, then reconstituted later. This process can result in a trade-off between the storage size and the quality of the reconstructed image. It is categorized into two types: lossless compression, which allows the original image to be perfectly reconstructed, and lossy compression, which reduces data size more but may result in lower image quality.
