Compression Techniques for Distributed use of 2D and 3D Data on Internet

Abstract

Internet has become a forum for human communication in a wide variety of disciplines. The 2D and 3D data occupies large chunks of storage space, when converted from their natural analog form to digitized form. Hence there is a need to compress the data for storage space, fast processing and transmission. The present paper gives a view on need for compression of 2D and 3D data, different compression techniques. It also emphasizes on user query process.
