THESIS: AN INVESTIGATION OF REVERSIBLE VARIABLE LENGTH CODES
A reversible variable length code(RVLC) is used as an entropy encoding technique in major audio-video compression standards. A detailed investigation of RVLC construction algorithms is carried out and two algorithms are proposed. A novel analogy, virus-victim analogy, is also developed to establish relationship between prefix-free codes and RVLCs.
