Techniques in Data Compression and Maximization of Information Content
Abstract
The expression 'data compression' has broad meaning and may encompass any or all of the following: data compaction, bandwidth compression, redundancy removal, redundancy reduction, adaptive sampling, parameter extraction, optimal estimation, and possibly a few other techniques. In general, data compression denotes operations which are performed to reduce the quantity of data prior to transmission, but which still preserve the minimum data elements of a measurement continuum such that the original information may be reconstructed within established limits of error. This document is intended as a single source document describing available techniques for reducing the quantity of data processed and for providing meaningful presentation. It includes mathematical, statistical, and graphical techniques which have been used successfully.
