Lossless Compression | Lossy Compression |
---|---|
It is a reversible process | It is irreversible process |
In lossless compression techniques reconstructed image contains no loss of information as exact reconstruction of the original image is possible | In lossy compression techniques reconstructed image contains loss of information which in turn produces distortion in the image |
Mean Square Error (MSE) is always zero as exact reconstruction of original image is possible | MSE is not zero as exact reconstruction of original image is never possible |
Compression ratio is low | Compression ratio can be very high |
Lossless compression technique are Huffman Coding, Arithmetic Coding, DPCM, B2 Coding, CAC Coding and RLE Coding | Lossy Compression techniques are IGS Coding, JPEG Coding, DM Coding etc. |
It is suitable for Text file compression, medical reports compression. | It is suitable for Photograph, Natural scene, satellite image compression. |
