Description
Lossless and lossy are the two (2) universally known categories of compression algorithms. Compare the two (2) categories of algorithms, and determine the major advantages and disadvantages of each. Provide one (1) example of a type of data for which each is best suited.
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
Lossless compression technique uses data compression algorithm that warranties the original (same) data to reconstructed from the data compressed. Thus, its useful when a user needs the compressed data to be the same after reconstruction.
data types that use lossless data compression
- source codes and executable files
- image file formats e.g. PNG
- GIF
- Sound
- Images eg MNG TIF
- Lossy technique can produce a much smaller compressed data file compared to lossless technique
- Lossless compression schemes are reversible so that the original
