entropy coding Last modified: Friday, February 23, 2007
Entropy coding is a type of lossless coding to compress digital data by representing frequently occurring patterns with few bits and rarely occurring patterns with many bits. Huffman coding is a type of entropy coding.
Entropy Coding (EC) The process of entropy coding (EC) can be split in two parts: modeling and coding. Modeling assigns probabilities to the symbols, and coding produces a bit sequence from these probabilities.
