number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed
Overview:
The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor, or other display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous ...
random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies, giving it a constant power spectral density
Overview:
In signal processing, white noise is a random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies, giving it a constant power spectral density. The term is used with this or similar meanings in many ...
mathematical theory from the field of probability theory and statistics
Overview:
Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was established and formalized by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, though early con ...
Overview:

abbreviations used by ancient and medieval scribes writing in Latin, and later in Greek, Old Norse and other European languages
Overview:
Scribal abbreviations, or sigla (singular: siglum), are abbreviations used by ancient and medieval scribes writing in various languages, including Latin, Greek, Old English and Old Norse.
reduction of image size to save storage and transmission costs
Overview:
Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties ...
data processing technique to eliminate duplicate copies of repeating data
Overview:
In computing, data deduplication is a technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data. Successful implementation of the technique can improve storage utilization, which may in turn lower ...
device or software for encoding or decoding a digital data stream
Overview:
A codec is a computer hardware or software component that encodes or decodes a data stream or signal. Codec is a portmanteau of coder/decoder.
Process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation
Overview:
In information theory, data compression, source coding, or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. Any particular compression is either ...
Overview:
In data compression and the theory of formal languages, the smallest grammar problem is the problem of finding the smallest context-free grammar that generates a given string of characters (but no other ...
Overview:
Romke Jan Bernhard Sloot (27 August 1945, Groningen—11 July 1999, Nieuwegein) was a Dutch electronics technician, who claimed to have developed a revolutionary data compression technique, the Sloot Digital ...
apparatus or software that can transform video data into a coded format with different characteristics and/or back
Overview:
A video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video. In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, while a device that only compresses ...
device or program that encodes/decodes audio data in some bitstream format
Overview:
An audio codec, or audio decoder is a device or computer program capable of encoding or decoding a digital data stream (a codec) that encodes or decodes audio. In software, an audio codec is a computer ...
information transmission rate expressed in bits per second
Overview:
In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time.
data compression approach allowing perfect reconstruction of the original data
Overview:
Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because ...
Open standard lossy compression format for digital audio
Overview:
MP3 (formally MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III) is a coding format for digital audio developed largely by the Fraunhofer Society in Germany under the lead of Karlheinz Brandenburg. It was ...
