Compression Methods
Survey Compression Methods
In the following a variety of compression methods will be introduced. Some of those methods are worked out in detail. In this case the general descriptions will provide corresponding links.
Primarily fundamental mechanisms and procedures will be described, implementation details are not considered at this part. Most of the methods will be used by different formats and for different purposes. Information about utilization is available at 'Data Formats'.
