A self-grouping and table-merging algorithm for VLC-based video decoding system

Abstract

a new VLC-based algorithm for video decoding system is introduced. This Self-grouping algorithm is developed to reduce bit streams needed to decode symbol data. In addition the proposal can be merged with all Huffman table-based VLC systems, such as MPEG-2, H.264, for multi-mode video decoding applications. Simulation results show about 73% in Huffman-based table size can be reduced compared to the state-of-the-art design [9].
