This is what run-length encoding requires. Correspondingly, delta encoding followed by Huffman and/or run-length encoding is a common strategy for compressing signals. LZW compression is named after ...

A lossless compression algorithm based on the LZW with compression ratios of 50 ? 60%, using 2K of RAM and 80% or more with 8K or 16K.

The committee that develops the JPEG image compression standard has refuted a claim by a U.S. company to own a patent that gives it exclusive rights to the algorithm underlying JPEG. If it were proven ...

In a world with finite storage and an infinite need for more storage space, data compression becomes a very necessary problem. Several algorithms for data compression may be more familiar – Huffman ...
