	Adaptive Huffman Coding
		As an example, the Adaptive Huffman Coding is examined below.
		The Huffman tree could look very different after node swapping (Fig 7.2), e.g., in the third tree, node A is again swapped and becomes the #5 node.
		Note: Code for a particular symbol changes during the adaptive coding process.

	Huffman coding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Huffman was able to design the most efficient compression method of this type: no other mapping of individual source symbols to unique strings of bits will produce a smaller average output size when the actual symbol frequencies agree with those used to create the code.
		Huffman, unable to prove any codes were the most efficient, was about to give up and start studying for the final when he hit upon the idea of using a frequency-sorted binary tree, and quickly proved this method the most efficient.
		Huffman coding with unequal letter costs is the generalization in which this assumption is no longer assumed true: the letters of the encoding alphabet may have non-uniform lengths, due to characteristics of the transmission medium.

		Huffman coding is optimal when the frequencies of input characters are powers of two.
		Arithmetic coding produces slight gains over Huffman coding, but in practice these gains have not been large enough to offset arithmetic coding's higher computational complexity and patent royalties (as of November 2001, IBM owns patents on the core concepts of arithmetic coding in several jurisdictions).
		Huffman coding today is often used as a "back-end" to some other compression method.

	Adaptive Huffman coding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adaptive Huffman coding is an adaptive coding technique based on Huffman coding, building the code as the symbols are being transmitted, having no initial knowledge of source distribution, that allows one-pass encoding and adaptation to changing conditions in data.
		Code is represented as a tree structure in which every node has a corresponding weight and a unique number.

		The entropy coding used in BTPC is adaptive Huffman coding [15].
		First, arithmetic coding is subject to patent restrictions while Huffman coding is not; second, Huffman coding is faster; third, evaluation of BTPC in these documents and elsewhere relies on comparison with the Independent JPEG group's implementation of JPEG [14].
		In adaptive coding, the codebook used for the current symbol is generated from the statistics of symbols previously coded.

	Huffman coding
		It has been proven that Huffman coding is the most effective compression method of this type: no other mapping of source symbols to strings of bits will produce a smaller output when the actual symbol frequencies agree with those used to create the code.
		Huffman coding is optimal when the probability of each input symbol is a power of two.
		Huffman coding with unequal letter costs is the generalization in which the letters of the encoding alphabet may have non-uniform lengths.

	Data Compression -- Section 4
		Adaptive Huffman coding was first conceived independently by Faller and Gallager [Faller 1973; Gallager 1978].
		The code is adaptive, changing so as to remain optimal for the current estimates.
		Another reasonable assumption about adaptive coding is that the weights in the current tree correspond closely to the probabilities associated with the source.

	Lossless Data Compression
		The design of the Huffman code is optimal (for a fixed blocklength) assuming that the source statistics are known a priori.
		A code tree is thus generated and the Huffman code is obtained from the labeling of the code tree.
		Huffman codes are optimal in the sense that no other lossless fixed-to-variable length code has a lower average rate.

	Programmers Heaven -> Art_Huffman_p2
		What is done in adaptive Huffman coding is that initially all the symbols are allocated the frequency count of 1, and then an initial Huffman tree is formed.
		The only difference between static and adaptive methods is that in the latter we dynamically create the symbol frequency table and in the former it is known in advance.
		Displaying Huffman codes is fine but how can you store these binary codes in a file, in their original form; i.e.

	Huffman coding - free-definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Huffman coding uses a specific method for choosing the representations for each symbol, resulting in a prefix-free code (that is, no bit string of any symbol is a prefix of the bit string of any other symbol) that expresses the most common characters in the shortest way possible.
		A prefix code is a code having the property that no codeword is a prefix of any other codeword.
		Although arithmetic coding offers better performance than Huffman coding, Huffman coding is still in wide use because of its simplicity and lack of encumbrance by patents.

		When you are ready to code the symbol you start at the top and decide whether to use a 1or a 0 for the left arrow, it makes no difference which one you pick as long as you use both.
		Adaptive Huffman compression sometimes is worse than Static Huffman compression because it is not optimal in the sense that the Static Huffman compress the optimal for a fixed length coding of each symbol.
		I have several versions of ''one to one'' adaptive Huffman compressors at my site, what I would like to do is to expand this to other compressors; for example, I am writting a ''one to one run length encoder adaptive Huffman compression'' program at my site.

	Huffman 10/95
		Huffman trees are binary trees which are based on the probability distribution of a symbol set and the principle that symbols occurring more frequently will be represented by shorter codes than other, less probable ones.
		Huffman coding, named after its inventor (Huffman 1952), is one of the most widely known compression schemes.
		Huffman's scheme is based on statistical coding which means that the probability of a symbol has a direct bearing on the length of its representation.

	Adaptive Huffman Coding
		Huffman coding suffers from the fact that the uncompresser need have some knowledge of the probabilities of the characters in the compressed files.
		Adaptive Huffman coding also works at a universal level, but is far more effective than static huffman coding at a local level because the tree is constantly evolving.
		This algorithm is called adaptive huffman coding because the tree is adaptive- it is created simultaneously with either the compressed or uncompressed file as it reads in the other.

	[No title]
		Also, Huffman compression looks at the statistics of the whole file, so that if a part of the code uses a character more heavily, it will not adjust during that section.
		The Huffman tree is initialized with a single node, known as the Not-Yet-Transmitted (NYT) or escape code.
		This code will be sent every time that a new character, which is not in the tree, is ecountered, followed by the ASCII encoding of the character.

	Untitled
		Huffman published a paper in 1952 describing a method of creating a code table for a set of symbols given their probabilities.
		Huffman coding assigns an output code to each symbol, with the output codes being as short as 1 bit, or considerably longer than the input symbols, strictly depending on their probabilities.
		The code for the encoder as well as the decoder were first published in an article entitled "Arithmetic Coding for Data Compression" in the February 1987 issue of "Communications of the ACM", by Ian H. Witten, Radford Neal, and John Cleary, and is being published here with the author's permission.

		Adaptive Huffman coding enables dynamically changing the code as the probabilities of input symbols change, making it more flexible than the standard (static) Huffman coding.
		Because of its adaptive nature, only one run through of the code is necessary as opposed to the regular two run through's of static Huffman Coding.
		A strong benefit with adaptive huffman coding is that it can read and write compressed data at the same time, rather than having to wait till it read the entire stream of data, and then calculate the frequencies.

		The Huffman tree could look very different after node swapping, e.g., in the third tree, node A is again swapped and becomes the #5 node.
		Huffman coding and the like use an integer number (k) of bits for each symbol, hence k is never less than 1.
		Adaptive algorithms do not need a priori estimation of probabilities, they are more useful in real applications.

	Recitation 26: Huffman coding
		Prefix codes are useful because they make a stream of bits unambiguous; we simply can accumulate bits from a stream until we have completed a codeword.
		Huffman invented a simple algorithm for constructing such trees given the set of characters and their frequencies.
		The solution is adaptive Huffman coding, which builds the prefix tree incrementally in such a way that the coding always is optimal for the sequence characters already seen.

	Static Huffman by Arturo Campos
		Huffman's method is efficient, while Shannon-Fano isn't always efficient, probably this is because huffman sorts the probabilities after combining them, and Shannon-Fano doesnn't.
		This follows that rule: no code can be prefix of another code, (In our first case the 0b code was prefix of the 01b code) this is called the prefix property.
		The length of the code is equal to the height of the byte in the tree.

		3.3 Universal Codes and Representations of the Integers
		Cormack reports that data compression programs based on Huffman coding (Section 3.2) reduced the size of a large student-record database by 42.1% when only some of the information was compressed.
		While coding for purposes of data security (cryptography) and codes which guarantee a certain level of data integrity (error detection/correction) are topics worthy of attention, these do not fall under the umbrella of data compression.

	Adaptive Huffman Code
		The adaptive Huffman code will be developed in the course of the coding step by step.
		In contrast to the static or dynamic coding the symbol distribution will not be determined previously.

	Binary Tree Predictive Coding
		While JPEG and GIF are both used for general-purpose still-image coding (for example for inline images on WWW pages), JPEG is intended for lossy coding of photos, and GIF for lossless coding of graphics.
		Adaptive Huffman coding requires walking a tree for each symbol and is therefore the processing bottleneck.
		Lossy coding of graphics is less objectionable with BTPC than with JPEG, and is often acceptable at the (lossless) GIF rate.

	Adaptive Huffman coding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Huffman coding algorithm works when the source is stationary and the probabilities are known.
		In the circumstance in which the source is non-stationary or the probabilities are not known in advance, then the adaptive Huffman coding algorithm is a possibility.
		In this case, the relative probabilities of the symbols are estimated by keeping counts of the occurrences of the source symbols.

	Definition of Huffman coding
		Create a new internal node, using the two nodes as children and their combined weight as the weight.
		Note: it may be beneficial to generate codes with minimum length variance, since in the worst case when several long codewords have to be transmitted in a row it may lead to unwanted side effects(for example if we use a buffer and constant rate transmitter, it increases the mimimum buffer size).

	Compression
		The main observation is that there is a canonical Huffman code entirely defined by the code lengths of the letters.
		It is possible that this code will not be in the string table, but let's assume for now that it is. Output the string corresponding to `to the codestream.`
		The packaging of codes into a bitsream for the raster data is a potential stumbling block for the novice encoder or decoder.

		Adaptive Huffman coding modifies the table as characters are encoded, which allows the encoder to adapt to changing conditions in the input data.
		Adaptive decoders don’t need a copy of the table when decoding, they start with a fixed decoding table and update the table as characters are read in.
		The code for incorporating the last symbol grabs an extra input bit, but since this is usually the EOT symbol, the bug doesn’t always cause problems.
