      heic is new kind of compression algorithm which is also being used for videos but it is always lossy unless specified as lossless. Another kind of such lossy compression is the djvu format which is capable of downsizing entire scanned thick books into multipage image file with several hundred pages. Converting that djvu to pdf will show that effect of 70mb djvu file to 500mb pdf.

    JPEG XL is an upcoming compression method that will solve most of our problems with image files. It has a lossy mode that is way smaller than JPEG. It has a lossless mode that is smaller than PNG. And has support for all the kinds of metadata that you could want, including high color depth.

    another thing with compression:
    images;
    when the area has a slight deviation in color but still enough to look weird if it is all the same color; instead of storing all the 24 bits to get 255:255:255 color, you can just take a pixel and relate all other similar colors to it. so if there is barely any difference, you can express that in far fewer bits.
    and about text
    you can overlap selection.

    Another interesting form of compression is huffman coding. The jist of how that works is that it orders the different characters by order of probability of occurrence of a file on a binary tree, then it uses its placement on the tree as a stand in for its value. The effect is reduced number of bits for common characters at the cost of extra number of bits for less-used ones. A very cool technique and is very complimentary with other compression algorithms, and is also used commonly over channels.

    • @MsZiomallo
      @MsZiomallo 2 роки тому +2

      There are 2 alternatives: arithmetic coding (e.g. CABAC) which compresses way better, but is way more complex, and there's Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS) which compresses just a bit worse than CABAC while being only slightly more complex than Huffman, making it a perfect deal and being used by lots of tech giants, and also in next-generation JPEG XL image format.

    Zooming in the Bliss image shows evidence of 8x8 JPEG compression artefacts, one problem with lossy compression is that not only does it discard some things, but it can add things that weren't there before, such as those JPEG artefacts or some quite nasty effects if MP3 is pushed too far.
    Recompression is particularly bad, if you compress to JPEG, and then recompress the result again to a smaller file, the quality will be worse than if you started again with an uncompressed or at least best quality original, as the second compression will be counting the artefacts of the first as part of the image.

      @1vader 3 роки тому +15

      @@sanjacobs6261 That's not really what lossy compression means though. You lose the same info when converting to PNG which is a lossless format. The difference is that with a PNG you only lose this kind of metadata information whereas with jpeg you lose actual image information. Although how much and whether it's even noticeable very much depends on the settings since you can configure how strong jpeg should compress an image. But with high compression, you will very much notice artifacts on jpeg compressed images and for images with plain backgrounds/colors and text, it's much worse and much more noticeable even on high-quality settings.
      But removing metadata has nothing to do with compression. There is no compression whatsoever going on there. You are just deleting information. It's like saying "I'm compressing an image" when you delete the lower half of it. The amazing thing about lossy compression is that it removes information but is still able to reconstruct an image that ideally looks exactly the same to the human eye from the remaining data.

    Compression is definitely crazy stuff. A couple examples I've seen: a steam game with a download of around 7gb, and an uncompressed size of around 12gb.
    Another example: I exported one of my songs in the WAV format and it was over 50mb in size, while the MP3 version was less than 5mb.
    Also, about "some rural places not being able to stream 4k," before I got starlink, which gives me a download speed of 100+Mbps, my old internet had a download speed of under 12mbps on rare occasion.

    Nice vid! You should do a part 2 and include audio compression

    • @Nick1921945
      @Nick1921945 2 роки тому

      Audio compression knowledge is a very professional nature of knowledge and video compression is at least 4-16x more technical.
      Knowing this information is only useful to music producers/distributers, and commercial industrial movie makers; for reasons like managing how much truth you can fit on a Blu-ray disk so your customers get more bang for their buck, instead of paying full price for a product soo thick that the dvd player struggles to play it without being over worked.
      Knowledge of picture compression is much more relevant to poeple because of how many people actually do graphic design nowadays, and have to actually manage quality control on their finished product.
      For video compressions, it can be a nightmare considering how far commercial practices have gone to allow only exact settings to be applied to work on a universal scale. For example, for your dvd players, you have to encode in mkv aac, otherwise it absolutely will not be recognized by any common dvd movie player. That being said, you can't just burn mp4 files to a dvd disk and assume that because the files read on your computer, that your Blu-ray player will look at it the same way, because odds are that your br player won't even know what it's looking at. I think this problem low-key comes from 2 things. 1. Combatting bootleggers (glhf). 2. Making it harder for the smaller entrapaneurs to succeed. [Same as it ever was.)
      Companies like Nero, Adobe, and Sony have their software suites that are made to do the heavy lifting of ensuring you are compressing in exact commercial standards that are decided and agreed upon by lawyers, manufactures, and filming companies together. BUT, you may notice how expensive it is buy these programs/tools.
      This is a definite example of how it pays to be smart, if you are a DIY hero.

    So, compression is basically just refactoring code but for content. That's actually really interesting and I'm kinda surprised I never thought of it like that. In a way, a .zip file is more like a blueprint for how to build the file than just packing the file really tightly.

      For kitty compression (comPURRession?), you need a container the size of your desired result.
      All you need to do is place them in the same directory and the cat will actually compress into the container all on its own.

    Compression mostly takes advantage of similar colors being side by side. It can encode the variation from the initial shade in fewer bits. Repetition only appears in artificial images like screenshots that contain exactly the same shapes.

    Thanks for sharing, now I understand this better ,
    But what about vectors they are scalable with no lose in details I think that due to the facts it's geometry based . but if we convert images to vectors will we lose details or we have to do some shapes .
    2- about youtube decompression the buffer how they made it I think they have used their encoding with mp4 format but how they managed huge amount of bandwidth in more depth ?
    3- in technical terminology some film makers use encoding format to retrieve all recording data like they can change camera shutter speed and stuff and edit it after shooting what this called?
    4-I know about video resolution is not determining fact about the quality ( video bitrate is more important) is there any AI encoding algorithm can retain the data by Artificial intelligence fixing and if so is there artifacts ? how it's compared to ground Truth data ?
    I have kgb compressor which was able to minimize a whole anime (12 episode) to only 10 megabytes.
    is it possible that the tool it's self have different results ?
    can we speed up the process by AL ?
    and finally some websites has it's own technology to which can speed up the download I want video about it .
