Midimax Compression for Large Time-Series Data

Lightweight and fast compression algorithm in Python for time-series plots

Motivation

Visualization is a powerful and critical step for reasoning with our data. Plotting large time-series data however generates heavy file sizes which slow down user interaction and strain computing resources such as RAM, disk, network and more. In my line of work, time-series data from machinery monitoring sensors may be recorded at rates from 1 Hz (1 point per second) to thousands of …
