20120166503 | METHOD FOR FULLY ADAPTIVE CALIBRATION OF A PREDICTION ERROR CODER - Method for fully adaptive calibration of a prediction error coder, comprising a first step of initialization; a second step of reception and accumulation of block-size data samples wherein for each received value, it is added one to the histogram bin associated to that value; a third step of analysis of the histogram and determination of the coding option; a fourth step of analysis of the histogram and determination of a coding table; a fifth step of output a header with the prediction error coder coding table determined; and wherein previous steps are repeated if more samples need to be compressed. It is useful as a data compression technique, with the advantage of being faster and more robust than the current CCSDS lossless compression standard. | 06-28-2012 |
