Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. Google has developed a new open-source image compression algorithm that it says can reduce the size ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image compression by improving on the Fourier Transform. They say the new algorithm is up to ten times faster than ...

Digitized mammograms are actually interpreted more accurately by radiologists once they have been "compressed." Though compression strips away much of the original data, it still leaves intact those ...

Google has introduced a new data compression algorithm, which the company believes will make the Internet faster for all users. Known as Zopfli, the open-source algorithm is said to increase data ...

Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.
