Signal Compression

Image
Introduction Signal compression is the process where the redundant information in a signal is identified and deleted. Signal compression is quite an important technology in digital communication . Speech, audio, image, and digital video are all major disciplines of signal compression, and many compression algorithms have been implemented, but we will only highlight image compression in this blog. Image compression is an application of signal compression that encodes the original image with a few bits. The objective of image compression is to reduce the redundancy of the image and to store or transmit data in an efficient form. Why is Signal Compression Required? Compression has several advantages, including reduced storage hardware, data transfer time, and communication bandwidth. This has the potential to save a lot of money. Compressed files require far less storage space than uncompressed ones, resulting in significant savings in storage costs. Image compression is beneficial becaus
