A Study on Data Compression Algorithms for Its Efficiency Analysis

Abstract

For many computerized applications, data compression is a standard requirement. In order to minimize the capacity needed for that data, it decreases the redundancy in data representation and thus therefore reduces the connectivity cost by efficiently utilizing the available bandwidth. There are a range of algorithms for data compression that are used to compress various formats of data. There are also sets of different compression algorithms for a single data form, which use different approaches. This paper assesses lossless algorithms for compression of data and compares their performance. To assess the performance of compressing text data, images, audio, a set of selected algorithms are used. Experimental findings and comparisons of algorithms for lossless compression using methods for compression. It gives contrasting conclusions on the size and time ratios toward existing research. Different information that can be compressed not only text but it can be Audio, pictures and video information. In this article, there are variety of various forms of lossless compression algorithms discussed.
