Huffman coding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science and information theory, Huffman coding is an entropy encoding algorithm used for lossless data compression. The term refers to the use of a variable-length code table for encodin...

One particular scheme for doing this is called the Huffman encoding method, after its discoverer, David Huffman. A Huffman code can be represented as a binary tree whose leaves are the symbols that are encoded. At each non-leaf node of the tree there is a set containing all the symbols in the leaves that lie below the node.

11 Huffman Encoding ... Huffman's scheme uses a table of frequency of occurrence for each symbol (or character) in the input. This table may be derived from the input itself or from data which is representative of the input. ... Huffman Encoding & Decoding Animation; This animation was written by Woi Ang.

There are many different reasons for and ways of encoding data, and one of these ways is Huffman coding. This is used as a compression method in digital imaging and video as well as in other areas.

Huffman encoding is a way to assign binary codes to symbols that reduces the overall number of bits used to encode a typical string of of those symbols.

Decoding a huffman encoding is just as easy : as you read bits in from your input stream you traverse the tree beginning at the root, taking the left hand path if you read a 0 and the right hand path if you read a 1. When you hit a leaf, you have found the code.

Purpose This is a library for adaptive Huffman encoding, as described by Knuth in "Dynamic Huffman Coding", Journal of Algorithms vol 6. ... This struct has no user defined operations and is left unspecified. It contains the state of the huffman codec and is passed as an argument to allmost all the routines in this package.
