SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPRESSION OF FRAME-BASED DATA

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for compressing a data file that includes a plurality of frames, wherein each frame includes a plurality of data words. An example computer based system retrieves data from corresponding data word locations in the plurality of frames in the original data file, stores the retrieved data words sequentially in a second data file, and compresses the second data file. The system creates the original data file by retrieving data from a plurality of sources and storing the retrieved data into corresponding data word locations within frames of the original data file. The second data file is stored on a removable storage device, such as a PCMCIA card, or is transmitted to a remote computer system. The data file may be a flight data file.
