 PRESENTATION TOPIC

Difference between Lossy and Lossless Compression

Things to discuss about

 What is compression?

 Lossless compression and Lossy compression.

 Difference uses of lossless and lossy compression.

 Which compression method is more useful and why?

 Advantages of data compression.

 Disadvantages of Data compression.

Compression:
A Process of reducing the
number of bits required to
represent data
Lossless Compression:
Lossless compression technique as their name implies, it involves no loss
of information or data. In lossless compressed the original data can be
recovered Exactly from the compressed data.

Lossy Compression:
Lossy compression techniques involves some loss of data or information
that have been compressed using lossy techniques which can not be
recovered or reconstructed exactly.
 Lossy:

 Non-essential data is permanently removed.

 There is a degradation of data.

 You can’t get back the original file.

 Cheaper.

 Requires less space and time.

Lossless:

 Basic methods of compression which summarizes consecutive patterns of the same data.

 Works well with sounds and images where data is repeated.

 You can get back the original data from the compressed one.

 Requires more space and time.

 The no degradation of data.

Compression structure

 Lossless: Original Compressed Original

 Lossy: Original Compressed

Lossless compression uses

 Image file formats, like PNG (Portable Network Graphics) or GIF (Graphics Interchange
Formats), use only lossess compression.
 TIFF (Tagged Image File Formats) and MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) may
use lossess compression too.
 Lossess audio formats are mostly used for archiving or production purposes.
 Lossless Compression is used in Dictionary Encoding. Data Token

e.g “Station” , “Nation” , “Creation” = 21,31,41 tion 1

 Lossy compression uses

Lossy Compression is very useful for images , audio signals, or other information that is
perceived through our senses.

 Used for unnecessary data removal in video files. (In MPEG)

 Removes sound in frequency range that cannot be easily heard or has the least effect.(In
MP3)

 Tires to reconstruct image without missing data (In JPEG)

Which compression method is useful and
why?

Usefulness of a particular compression method depends on some factors.

 Type of the file.

 The users personal choice.

 If image or sound quality matters more then lossless compression is more useful than
lossy compression.

 If file size is needed to be reduced then Lossy compression is more useful then lossless
Advantages of data compression

 Less disk space (more data in reality)

 Faster writing and reading

 Faster file transfer

 Byte order independent

 Variable dynamic range

Disadvantages of data compression

 Added complication

 Effect of error transmission

 Slower for sophisticated methods (but simpler methods can be faster for writing disk)

 In lossy compression media compression quality decreases a lot

 “Unknown byte /pixel relationship

 Need to decompress all previous data
