4 unusual facts about Huffman coding


BMP file format

Indexed color images may be compressed with 4-bit or 8-bit RLE or Huffman 1D algorithm.

Convention over Code

Convention over Code means we would make public the default for methods, and make better use of keyword Huffman coding in language design.

Huffman coding

;Find: A prefix-free binary code (a set of codewords) with minimum expected codeword length (equivalently, a tree with minimum weighted path length from the root).

Photo CD

Thirdly and finally, the Photo CD system employs a form of quantization and Huffman coding to further compress this residual data.
