Animation: Arithmetic Coding

Animation Systems Collection -- Animations Collection

Description

The arithmetic coding is a mathematical compression, based on the coding of a input sequence using a rational number of the unit interval [0,1).

In the animation the algorithm is demonstrated and the procedure illustrated using an example, during which the executed commands and values changed by them are highlighted using a different colour.

Following the animation of the coding the animation of the decoding is shown, in which the original message is extracted.
