Lossy Compression


Lossy compression is a data compression method. It produces a close match of the data after decompression. The lossy compression method eliminates some amount of data that is not noticeable. this technique does not allow a file to restore in its original form but significantly reduces the size. It is beneficial if the quality of the data is not your priority. It slightly degrades the quality of the file or data but is convenient when one wants to send or store the data. It is used to store audio signals, images and videos. The data holding capacity of channel is more than the lossless method. 

The application of the lossy compression are the following:
JPEG, GUI, MP3, MP4, OGG, H-264, MKV, etc.

Lossy Compression Technique
  1. Transform Coding: This method transforms the pixels which are correlated in a representation into disassociated pixels. The new size is usually less than the original size and reduces the redundancy of the representation.
  1. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT): This is the most vastly used image compression technique. JPEG process centre around DCT. DCT process divides the image into distinct parts of frequencies. In the quantization step, where compression basically occurs least important frequency are rejected. And the critical frequencies are retained so that the image can be obtained in the decompression process. The reconstructed image could contain some distortion.
  2. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT): It provides a location of time and frequencies simultaneously and can be utilised in decomposing a signal into component wavelets.

Advantages of EDI

1) Shortened Ordering Time : Paper orders have to be printed, enveloped and sent out by the customer's post room, passed through the postal service, received by the supplier's post room and input to the supplier's order pocessing system. To achieve all this, reliably, in under three days would be to do very well. EDI orders are sent straight into the network and the only delay is how often the supplier retrieves messages from the system. Orders can be in the supplier's system within a day, or if there is urgency, the messages can be retrieved more frequently, for example every hour.  2) Cost Cutting : The use of EDI can cut costs. These include the costs of stationery and postage but these will probably be fully matched by the costs of running the EDI service. The principle saving from the use of the EDI is the potential to save staff costs. For example, if the orders are directly input to the system there is no need for an order entry clerk.  3) Elimination of Errors :...

Infrastructure for EC

Introduction The e-commerce infrastructure is defined here as the supporting capabilities for online trading between multiple companies which include hardware, software, networks, online payment technologies, security and encryption technologies, online trading business models, legal and regulatory framework, and managerial and organisation capabilities.  Infrastructure is the shared human, informational , and technical resources on which the work system relies in order to operate, even though these resources exist and are managed outside of the work system.  To evaluate the interdisciplinary aspects of construction e-commerce infrastructure, one proposes using a four pillar approach. Figure 5.1 illustrates the skeleton for the proposed integrated construction e-commerce infrastructure. The proposed integrated e-business infrastructure can be broken down into the following four groups of components:  1) Technological Infrastructure : Technology infrastructure is a work...

Business Strategy - E-Commerce Strategy Inputs

E-Commerce Strategy Inputs Traditionally an IT strategy would be subservient to the business strategy. For e- commerce the IT strategy becomes a central component (or the determinant factor) in business strategy.  Inputs to an e-commerce business strategy are: Technology An E-commerce technology includes:  EDI : Streamline supply logistics and facilitate decreases in trade cycle times.  Electronic Markets : Re-define the operation of a market sector.  Internet E-Commerce : Provides new direct sales opportunities and novel business to business and business to consumer applications.  Internet e-commerce can be used to improve, transform and re-define business value:  Organisation  Source of Business value  i) Improve it a) Product promotion b)New direct sales channel c)Direct saving d)Time to market e)Customer service f)Brand image  ii)Transform it a)Technological and organizational learning b)Customer relations  iii)Re-define it a)New pro...
