Abstract

We use the term data to mean digital data: data that is represented as a sequence of characters drawn from the input alphabet ∑. Data compression is the process of encoding (“compressing”) a body of data into a smaller body of data. With lossless data compression, it must be possible for the compressed data to be decoded (“decompressed”) back to the original data, whereas with lossy data compression, compressed data need only be decoded back to some acceptable approximation to the original data (where “acceptable” is defined by some fidelity criteria that is provided to the algorithm).
