Huffman-Code

In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression...

computer science and information theory, a canonical Huffman code is a particular type of Huffman code with unique properties which allow it to be described...

Adaptive Huffman coding (also called Dynamic Huffman coding) is an adaptive coding technique based on Huffman coding. It permits building the code as the...

Modified Huffman coding is used in fax machines to encode black-on-white images (bitmaps). It combines the variable-length codes of Huffman coding with the...

using threaded code may be an ideal optimization. Huffman threaded code consists of lists of tokens stored as Huffman codes. A Huffman code is a variable-length...

David Albert Huffman (August 9, 1925 – October 7, 1999) was an American pioneer in computer science, known for his Huffman coding. He was also one of the...

for deriving prefix codes. Prefix codes are widely referred to as "Huffman codes" even when the code was not produced by a Huffman algorithm. Other examples...

minimized by the code with l(i), then the optimal Huffman code for that set of messages will be equivalent to that code. Likewise, how close a code is to optimal...

necessarily a prefix code. Prefix codes are also known as prefix-free codes, prefix condition codes and instantaneous codes. Although Huffman coding is just one...

entropy coding attempts to approach this lower bound. Two of the most common entropy coding techniques are Huffman coding and arithmetic coding. If the...
