An Efficient Compression Technique Using Arithmetic Coding

Data compression is a special kind of technique for representing various types of data such as text, audio, video, images etc. Data compression is used to reduce the number of bits and to store data. Different types of data compression mechanism are widely being used for compressing several types of data. In the field of data compression Arithmetic Coding is one of the most important technique which plays a vital role in lossless data compression. The main objective of this paper is to develop an efficient encoding algorithm using Arithmetic Coding. This paper has some test cases and found that the proposed technique is more efficient and effective than binary Huffman coding in terms of both speed and memory usage.
