Lossy compression: Art & Technology

In information technology, lossy compression, or irreversible compression, is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content. Higher degrees of approximation create coarser images as…
