A NOVEL APPROACH FOR REDUCTION OF HUFFMAN COST TABLE IN IMAGE COMPRESSION
Huffman codes are being widely used as a very efficient technique for compressing image. To achieve a high compressing ratio, the cost table need to be reduced. A new approach has been defined which reduces the cost table of the traditional Huffman Algorithm. This paper presents a minor modification to the Huffman coding of the binary Huffman compression algorithm. A study and implementation of the traditional Huffman algorithm is studied. In this paper a new methodology has been proposed for the reduction of the cost table for the image compression using Huffman coding Technique. Compared with the traditional Huffman coding the proposed method yields the best results in the generation of cost tables. The advantages of new binary Huffman table are that the space requirement and time required to transmit the image is reduced significantly.
