Method of improving performance by reducing the amount of space required to store data and programs. In data compression, entering data is scanned for ways to reduce the amount of required storage space. One way is to search for repeating patterns, which are replaced with a token, leaving enough so that the original can be rebuilt or decompressed.
The process of restoring the redundant patterns that were specially encoded and compressed before the DTV signal was broadcast.
An operation to release a compressed nerve. Techniques include laminectomy and discectomy.
The full data content of a compressed file is restored using this process.
Translating a file back into its original, precompressed form.
A method of encoding/decoding signals that allows transmission (or storage) of more information than the media would otherwise be able to support. (e.g. The "Stacker" software product more than doubles the storage capacity of a PC magnetic disk drive.) Both compression and decompression require processing capacity, but with many products, the time is not noticeable.
The restoring of data that has undergone compression to its original state, or to something close to its original state. How closely the decompressed data matches the original data depends on the compression algorithm used. ( See also lossless compression and lossy compression.)
Files that can be downloaded from the Internet are usually stored in a compressed format to save disk space and downloading time. In order to read or use the files on your computer, you need a decompression program to decompress the files. Find out more about compression and decompression.
To reverse the procedure conducted by compression software, and thereby return compressed data to its original size and condition.
The process of restoring compressed data to its original form. This task must be accomplished with a program such as PKUNZIP or WinZip that recognizes the format of the compressed file.
restoring compressed information to its normal form for use or display
Restoring a compressed image to its full file size.
Files available from online archives are often compressed to save space, and reduce retrieval time. A FAQ about how to decompress 'anything' is regularly posted to the comp.compression newsgroup.
The restoration of redundant data that was removed through compression.
The opposite of compression, decompression is an algorithm extracting the compressed document's data.
The expansion of compressed image files. See also lossy and non-lossy.
Process of returning a compressed file to its full bitmap.
When an image or other digital data set is compressed and stored, it is not usable until it is decompressed into it original form.
Creating a viewable image for from a compressed video, graphics or audio file
Reverse of compression (see above).
Unpacking many files that have been stored in a single archive.
Fully restoring a digital file to its original data content.
The process of restoring the contents of a compressed file.
The reconstruction, on the fly, of compressed graphics such as .GIF or .JPG files.
The decoding of a compressed video data stream to allow playback.
Decompression is the reverse process to restore data to its original form from a compressed file using a compression program like WinZIP or Stuffit.
Data decompression is used to restore compressed data to its original form.
is the reduction of image file size for processing, storage, and transmission. The quality of the image may be affected by the compression techniques used and the level of compression applied. Decompression is the process of retrieving compressed data and reassembling it so that it resembles its original form before compression. There are two types of compression
The shrinking and expanding of a file so it will transport more rapidly.
The process of restoring a compressed file to its original state.
The reverse of the act of compression. In a computer environment data and programs can be digitally compressed so as to take up less storage space, but they must be decompressed to be used.
The restoration of original information from compressed data.
