  2. GIF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF

    The GIF encoding process can be modified to create a file without LZW compression that is still viewable as a GIF image. This technique was introduced originally as a way to avoid patent infringement. Uncompressed GIF can also be a useful intermediate format for a graphics programmer because individual pixels are accessible for reading or painting.

  3. Lempel–Ziv–Welch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel–Ziv–Welch

    Lempel–Ziv–Welch. Lempel–Ziv–Welch ( LZW) is a universal lossless data compression algorithm created by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv, and Terry Welch. It was published by Welch in 1984 as an improved implementation of the LZ78 algorithm published by Lempel and Ziv in 1978. The algorithm is simple to implement and has the potential for very ...

  4. LZ77 and LZ78 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78

    LZ77 and LZ78 are the two lossless data compression algorithms published in papers by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv in 1977 [1] and 1978. [2] They are also known as LZ1 and LZ2 respectively. [3] These two algorithms form the basis for many variations including LZW, LZSS, LZMA and others. Besides their academic influence, these algorithms formed ...

  5. PNG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG

    On small images, GIF can achieve greater compression than PNG (see the section on filesize, below). On most images, except for the above case, a GIF file has a larger size than an indexed PNG image. PNG gives a much wider range of transparency options than GIF, including alpha channel transparency.

  6. Image file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_format

    An image file format is a file format for a digital image. There are many formats that can be used, such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Most formats up until 2022 were for storing 2D images, not 3D ones. The data stored in an image file format may be compressed or uncompressed. If the data is compressed, it may be done so using lossy compression or ...

  7. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy. [1] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only of an approximation of ...

  9. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors. The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative. In early literature, the phenomenon of compressor ...
