Context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) is a form of entropy encoding used in the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC [1] [2] and High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standards. It is a lossless compression technique, although the video coding standards in which it is used are typically for lossy compression applications.
When naively Huffman coding binary strings, no compression is possible, even if entropy is low (e.g. ({0, 1}) has probabilities {0.95, 0.05}). Huffman encoding assigns 1 bit to each value, resulting in a code of the same length as the input. By contrast, arithmetic coding compresses bits well, approaching the optimal compression ratio of
The modern binary number system, the basis for binary code, is an invention by Gottfried Leibniz in 1689 and appears in his article Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire (English: Explanation of the Binary Arithmetic) which uses only the characters 1 and 0, and some remarks on its usefulness. Leibniz's system uses 0 and 1, like the modern ...
Shannon–Fano–Elias coding produces a binary prefix code, allowing for direct decoding. Let bcode(x) be the rational number formed by adding a decimal point before a binary code. For example, if code(C) = 1010 then bcode(C) = 0.1010. For all x, if no y exists such that
There are tricks for implementing packed BCD and zoned decimal add–or–subtract operations using short but difficult to understand sequences of word-parallel logic and binary arithmetic operations. [49] For example, the following code (written in C) computes an unsigned 8-digit packed BCD addition using 32-bit binary operations:
Arithmetic or range coding corresponds to adding new information in the most significant position, while ANS generalizes adding information in the least significant position. Its coding rule is "x goes to x-th appearance of subset of natural numbers corresponding to currently encoded symbol". In the presented example, sequence (01111) is ...
Arithmetic values thought to have been represented by parts of the Eye of Horus. The scribes of ancient Egypt used two different systems for their fractions, Egyptian fractions (not related to the binary number system) and Horus-Eye fractions (so called because many historians of mathematics believe that the symbols used for this system could be arranged to form the eye of Horus, although this ...
C provides a compound assignment operator for each binary arithmetic and bitwise operation. Each operator accepts a left operand and a right operand, performs the appropriate binary operation on both and stores the result in the left operand. [6] The bitwise assignment operators are as follows.
