lossy
A term describing a data {compression} {algorithm}
which actually reduces the amount of information in the data,
rather than just the number of bits used to represent that
information. The lost information is usually removed because
it is subjectively less important to the quality of the data
(usually an {image} or {sound}) or because it can be recovered
reasonably by {interpolation} from the remaining data.
{MPEG} and {JPEG} are examples of lossy compression
techniques.
Opposite: {lossless}.
