Generation and use of specific probability tables for arithmetic coding in data compression systems

摘要

In one embodiment, when executing data compression or decompression for a data set, a particular compression category of the data set is determined, and a corresponding probability table specific to the particular compression category of the data set is accessed. Then, one of either arithmetic coding (e.g., an encoder device) or decoding (e.g., a decoder device) may be performed on the data set based on the specific probability table. Specifically, in one or more other embodiments, techniques may statistically generate probability tables specific to particular compression categories.
