Compression performance for lossy compression applications. Each row of panel shows performance plots for various data-spheres. The first column of panels shows the trade-off between compression ratio and decompression fidelity with precision parameter p for lossless compression. The second column of panels shows the same trade-off, but with respect to the number of detail coefficients retained in the lossy compression. A precision parameter of p = 3 is used for all lossy compression results illustrated here. Compression ratio (solid black line; left axis) and decompression error (dashed red line; right axis) are defined in the caption of Fig. 4.
