In digital video compression, using 10 bits to compress the color information in a pixel. Even though most pixels are only eight bits, the extra two bits in the compression process provides for higher ...

Compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by removing redundancy and irrelevancy. Redundancy occurs when data is sent when it’s not needed. Irrelevancy frequently occurs in audio and ...

Without algorithms that compress data to encode information into fewer bits, hard drives would clog up and Internet traffic would slow to a snail's pace. Now, a group of physicists in Canada has shown ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Ever wondered how your brain stacks up against a computer? A recent study revealed just how many bits of data the human brain can process per second. A new study from the ...
