Patent CA-2321233-C (CA)
Inventor: HIND HUGH R
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1999-02-26
Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: A block-wise adaptive statistical data compressor is disclosed that operates by replacing characters in a data block with super-character codewords comprising a variable length prefix and a fixed length index. The codewords are determined by treating a plurality of groups of characters as super-character groups and then adapting the codewords, for each data block, based upon the actual frequency of occurrence of the characters in each group. The super-character prefix value identifies the group to which a particular character belongs, and the index value identifies the individual character of the group. By grouping and indexing the characters into these super-character groups, the present invention models a particular data block using a fraction of the information generally required by a fixed statistical compressor. Also disclosed are multi-stage lossless block data compressors that include the block-wise adaptive statistical compressor and also include a clustering stage and a reordering stage. The clustering stage clusters like characters into similar locations within the data block, and the reordering stage reorders the data to generate an expected skew in the frequency distribution of characters in the data block so that the block can be more efficiently compressed by the block-wise adaptivestatistical compressor.
