2. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

   Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.

3. Smallpdf.com - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpdf.com

   History. Smallpdf was founded in 2013 by Mathis Büchi, Lino Teuteberg, and Manuel Stofer while they were living abroad in Korea. The idea came from the need for their families to compress and send large documents via email. [4] The initial version of the site featured a standalone PDF compression tool. [5] Since then, the online platform has ...

4. compress (software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compress_(software)

   compress is a Unix shell compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. [1] Compared to gzip 's fastest setting, compress is slightly slower at compression, slightly faster at decompression, and has a significantly lower compression ratio. [2] 1.8 MiB of memory is used to compress the Hutter Prize data, slightly more than gzip's ...

5. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

   A compression ratio of at least 50:1 is needed to get 1080i video into a 20 Mbit/s MPEG transport stream. Uses. The data compression ratio can serve as a measure of the complexity of a data set or signal. In particular it is used to approximate the algorithmic complexity. It is also used to see how much of a file is able to be compressed ...

6. JPEG 2000 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000

   JPEG 2000 (JP2) is an image compression standard and coding system. It was developed from 1997 to 2000 by a Joint Photographic Experts Group committee chaired by Touradj Ebrahimi (later the JPEG president), with the intention of superseding their original JPEG standard (created in 1992), which is based on a discrete cosine transform (DCT), with a newly designed, wavelet-based method.

7. ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format)

   ZIP is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common.

8. bzip2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bzip2

   bzip2 is a free and open-source file compression program that uses the Burrows–Wheeler algorithm. It only compresses single files and is not a file archiver. It relies on separate external utilities for tasks such as handling multiple files, encryption, and archive-splitting. bzip2 was initially released in 1996 by Julian Seward.

9. GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-39_Small_Diameter_Bomb

   The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs.
