    Lossless and Lossy Compression Summary Sheet: Activity 4.2.2 (Homework)

    Uploaded by

    fatimatumbi
    This document provides a summary sheet for the key differences between lossless and lossy compression. It outlines that lossless compression can be used on any data without quality loss, works by detecting and encoding repeated patterns using algorithms like run-length encoding, and sometimes uses lookup tables to replace values. Lossy compression sacrifices some quality to achieve higher compression ratios and is commonly used for media files like audio and images since small quality losses are imperceptible to humans.
