Abstract

See full text

Coding and decoding method and apparatus are disclosed for implementation of a novel truncated Huffman type code using different length code words. Input signals to be encoded have different probabilities of occurance, and the most frequently occuring signals are assigned the shortest code words. Infrequently occuring input signals are labelled using one of the code words. The set of different length code words employed in the invention include a single binary 1 bit at the least significant bit position of each of the code words. Decoding simply includes means for counting the number of binary 0 bits between the 1 bits of the code word stream.
