Lossless Compression of Audio Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Lossless data compression of digital audio signals is useful when it is necessary to minimize the storage space or transmission bandwidth of audio data while still maintaining archival quality. Available techniques for lossless audio compression, or lossless audio packing, generally employ an adaptive waveform predictor with a variable-rate entropy coding of the residual, such as Huffman or Golomb-Rice coding. The amount of data compression can vary considerably from one audio waveform to another, but ratios of less than 3 are typical. Several freeware, shareware, and proprietary commercial lossless audio packing programs are available.

Benchmarking of Compression and Speed Performance for Lossless Audio Compression Algorithms
Motivated by the increase in storage space and Internet connection speed, as well as significant improvements in audio hardware, the interest for lossless audio compression has been greatly increasing, especially in the consumer market. In this article, we present a short performance comparison of the state of the art lossless audio compressors. The focus is on the OptimFROG symmetrical compres...
متن کاملMpeg4 Als – the Standard for Lossless Audio Coding
The MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS) standard belongs to the family MPEG-4 audio coding standards. In contrast to lossy codecs such as AAC, which merely strive to preserve the subjective audio quality, lossless coding preserves every single bit of the original audio data. The ALS core codec is based on forward-adaptive linear prediction, which combines remarkable compression with low complexi...
متن کاملA Design of Lossless Compression for High-Quality Audio Signals
Three extension tools for extending and enhancing the compression performance of prediction-based lossless audio coding are proposed. The first extension aims at supporting floatingpoint data input in addition to integer PCM data. The second is progressive-order prediction of the starting samples at each random-access frame, where the information on previous frame is not available. The third is...
متن کاملLossless Audio Compression: A Case Study
Audio compression is used everywhere – largely due to the rise of the internet, computers, and embedded systems. Since original, uncompressed digital recordings are very large in size, efficient ways are needed to compress large audio signals into small, high-quality, convenient formats. While lossy audio formats, like MP3, are widely popular in many everyday applications, lossless formats are ...
متن کاملMPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding
Lossless coding will become the latest extension of the MPEG-4 audio standard. The lossless audio codec of the Technical University of Berlin was chosen as reference model for MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS). The MPEG-4 ALS encoder is based on linear prediction, which enables high compression even with moderate complexity, while the corresponding decoder is straightforward. The paper describ...
