TY - JOUR T1 - An Improved Bit-level Arithmetic Coding Algorithm AU - Jianjun Zhang and Xingfang Ni JO - Journal of Information and Computing Science VL - 3 SP - 193 EP - 198 PY - 2024 DA - 2024/01 SN - 5 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jics/22710.html KW - Arithmetic coding, multiplication-free. AB - Arithmetic coding is the most powerful lossless data compression technique that has attracted much attention in recent years. This paper presents a new implementation of bit-level arithmetic coding using integer additions and shifts. The algorithm has less computational complexity and more flexibility, and thus is very suitable for hardware design. We show that degradation of the proposed algorithm is bounded by 0.2075.
