Abstract

A codec to compress information by generating a set of basis vectors based upon a population of vectors according to a pseudo-random sequence; and encoding the information into a set of coefficients indicative of a projection of the information onto the linear span of the set of basis vectors provided the projection satisfies a criterion of goodness. The generation of the basis vectors is based upon a genetic algorithm. To decode, the information is reconstructed or uncompressed by summing the set of basis vectors weighted by the set of coefficients.
