  Encyclopedia: Elias omega coding
Elias omega coding is a universal code encoding the positive integers.
Like Elias gamma coding and Elias delta coding, it works by prefixing the integer with a representation of its order of magnitude in a universal code.
Omega coding is used in applications where the largest encoded value is not known ahead of time, or to compress data in which small values are much more frequent than large values.

In computer science, data compression or source coding is the process of encoding information using fewer bits (or other information-bearing units) than a more obvious representation would use, through use of specific encoding schemes.

 0.10.2 Integer Coding
Gamma coding is efficient for small integers but is not suited to large integers for which parameterized Golomb codes or a second Elias code, the delta code, are more suitable.
Elias delta codes are somewhat longer than gamma codes for small integers, but for larger integers, such as ordinal sequence numbers, the situation is reversed.
Golomb codes are a form of parameterized coding in which integers to be coded are stored as values relative to a constant k.

However, universal codes are useful when Huffman coding cannot be used -- for example, when one does not know the exact probability of each message, but only knows their ranking (this message is more probable than that message).
Some codes such as Elias delta coding and Huffman are "asymptotically optimal", while others such as Elias gamma coding are not.
In cartography, a "universal code" is a code that can indicate any location on Earth, such as "latitude and longitude", or the Natural Area Code.

Fibonacci coding has a useful property that sometimes makes it attractive in comparison to other universal codes: it is easier to recover data from a damaged stream.
With most other universal code, if a single (The cutting part of a drill; usually pointed and threaded and is replaceable in a brace or bitstock or drill press) bit is altered, none of the data that comes after it will be correctly read.
With Fibonacci coding, on the other hand, a changed bit may cause one token to be read as two, or cause two tokens to be read incorrectly as one, but reading a "0" from the stream will stop the errors from propagating further.

Typically, entropy encoders are used to compress data by replacing symbols represented by equal-length codes with symbols represented by codes proportional to the negative logarithm of the probability.
Three of the most common entropy encoding techniques are Huffman coding, Range encoder and arithmetic encoding.
If the approximate entropy characteristics of a data stream are known in advance (especially for signal compression), a simpler static code such as Unary coding, Elias Gamma coding, Fibonacci coding, Golomb coding, or Rice coding may be useful.

These schemes typically build a context for the next bit (=fl or white pixel) to be coded from the surrounding, already coded pixels to the left and top.
This context is then used to drive an entropy coder, plus some runlength variations to capture long scans of white.
The latter might be of no use for your application, but the context-adaptive entropy coding seems for me to be the way to go.

This means the canonical Huffman code for this file is 2 bits for a (00), 2 bits for b (01), and 1 bit for e (1).
This immediately leads to all the standard properties for canonical Huffman codes, including "the all-zeros code is the longest code", "the all-ones code is the shortest code", etc. In a few initial data files (for example, aabbeeee), letters are already in a power-of-2 frequency distribution, and the total file length is already a power-of-2.
Note the codelength is not important; important is the part of the code that is nonconstant for coding and decoding issues.
