It is an early form of lossy compression for digital audio.

Lossy compression throws out some of the data so that there's less to store.

This is the same insight used in many forms of lossy compression.

In a rendering system, lossy compression can be more tolerable than for other use cases.

For some types of data, lossy compression can go a lot further; this is most often the case with media files, like music and images.

Both lossless and lossy compression of high dynamic range data is also supported.

This must be respected if the transformed signal is processed like in lossy compression.

A primitive but effective form of analog lossy compression!

They do a pretty good job of providing a constant, error free (if sometimes more lossy compression) stream.

MP3 is known as a lossy compression format.

Lossy compression reduces bits by identifying unnecessary information and removing it.

To use an analogy, think of lossy compression.

Lossy compression enables even greater reductions in file size by removing some of the data.

A lossy compression technique might identify this quiet tone and attempt to remove it.

Consider the example below, demonstrating the effect of lossy compression on an edge detection processing step.

It is suitable for both lossless and lossy compression.

Quantization also forms the core of essentially all lossy compression algorithms.

Audio quality degrades significantly after multiple instances of lossy compression.

(Lossy compression was necessary to reduce the data rate to a level that a stationary head could cope with).

MP3 encoding, widely used in portable audio devices, is an example of lossy compression.

WebP is a new image format that uses lossy compression.

Computer scientists refer to compression techniques that lose information as lossy compression.

The lossy compression that produces imperceptible differences may be called visually lossless.

As a result, all resulting videos have lossy compression applied and there is no facility for managing full format video.

Other formats where lossy compression techniques are used are not recommended such as MP3.
