“…Conversely, lossless algorithms reconstruct the original data without any loss. Lossy algorithms, such as Transform Coding, Discrete Cosine Transform, Discrete Wavelet Transform, and Fractal Compression, are used with multimedia data (e.g., images, audio, and video) and limited non-life-threatening healthcare applications [29], while lossless algorithms, such as Run Length Encoding, Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW), Arithmetic Encoding, Huffman Encoding, and Shannon Fano Encoding are used with textual data [30]. In wireless sensor networks, there are five categories of compression techniques [31]: string-based, image-based, compressed sensing, distributed source coding, and data aggregation.…”
