  Golomb-Rice Coding
A Golomb code is variable-length code, a bit like Huffman; however, rather than being based on the data, like Huffman, it's based on a simple model of the probability of the values (which are explicitly dealt with as natural numbers, rather than being abstract symbols): small values are more likely than big ones.
A Golomb-Rice code is a Golomb code where the divisor is a power of two, enabling an efficient implementation using shifts and masks rather than division and modulo.
Kiely and Klimesh (in "Generalized Golomb codes and adaptive coding of wavelet-transformed image subbands") generalise the idea of a Golomb code, using the idea of an index function, which maps from integers to an index (which is also an integer).

Golomb coding is a form of entropy coding invented by Solomon W. Golomb that is optimal for alphabets following geometric distributions, that is, when small values are vastly more common than large values.
The quotient is sent in unary coding, followed by the remainder in truncated binary encoding.
It is equivalent to Golomb coding where the tunable parameter is a power of two.

  Golomb coding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golomb coding is a form of entropy encoding invented by Solomon W. Golomb that is optimal for alphabets following geometric distributions, that is, when small values are vastly more common than large values.
Golomb coding uses a tunable parameter M to divide an input value into two parts: q, the result of a division by M, and r, the remainder.
The Golomb code for this distribution is equivalent to the Huffman code for the same probabilities, if it were possible to compute the Huffman code.

Golomb coding and its variants like Langdon coding are simple, effective and popular; these produce output bits only when LPS is encountered.
Arithmetic coding is also effective, as are their close cousins, quasi-arithmetic codes and FSM codes.
Instead of a Huffman code, a simple often applicable coding device is MTF (Move To Front) followed by a simple length-reducing code such as the so-called Fibonacci code.

Golomb codes are a form of parameterized coding in which integers to be coded are stored as values relative to a constant k.
With integers of varying magnitudes, as is the case in document occurrence counts and inverted-file offsets that vary from 1 to the database size, efficient storage is possible by using a variable-byte integer scheme.

 A lossless compression with low complexity transform   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Coding redundancy normally presents in any natural binary encoding of the gray levels in an image and it can be eliminated by construction of a variable-length code that assigns the possible shortest code words to the most probable gray levels so that the average length of the code words is minimized.

 Entropy encoding Information
An entropy encoding is a coding scheme that assigns codes to symbols so as to match code lengths with the probabilities of the symbols.
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.
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.

Data can be read from such a stream in several ways: reading an integer or long in fixed-width, unary, γ, shifted γ, δ, ζ and (skewed) Golomb coding, or reading a number of bits that will be stored in a vector of bytes.
When reading integers using some coding, instead, they are stored in the standard way, that is, in the lower bits.
Note that by unary coding we mean that 1 encodes 0, 01 encodes 1 and so on.

 NASA Tech Briefs - Improved Compression of Wavelet-Transformed Images
The new coding method uses prefix-free codes for the nonnegative integers as part of an adaptive algorithm for compressing the quantized wavelet-transformed data by run-length coding.
The specific prefix-free codes used are from two classes of variable-length codes: a class known as Golomb codes, and a class known as exponential-Golomb codes.
The code parameters within each code class are determined adaptively on the fly as compression proceeds, on the basis of statistics from previously encoded values.
