Golomb Coding
Golomb coding is a lossless data compression method developed by Solomon W. Golomb in the 1960s. It is particularly effective for data that follows a geometric distribution, where smaller values are more likely to occur than larger ones. Rice coding, a simpler subset of Golomb codes, is also utilized for efficient data compression in various applications.
- ▪Golomb coding is designed for lossless data compression using a family of codes.
- ▪It is optimal for alphabets that follow a geometric distribution.
- ▪Rice coding simplifies Golomb coding by using a subset of its codes for efficiency.
