... program Data Structures in Alice Alice has two built-in datastructures that can be used to organize data, or to create other data structures: • • Lists Arrays Lists A list is an ordered set of data ... the structure of the data affects what can be done efficiently with the data Choosing DataStructures A queue is a good data structure to use for storing things that need to be kept in order, ... Choosing DataStructures For some applications, a queue is the best data structure to use For others, a binary tree is better Programmers choose from among many datastructures based on how the data...

Compare X to its successors in the tree (from left to right and bottom to top) If the immediate successor has frequency F + or greater, the nodes are still in sorted order and there is no need to change ... encoder has to use a buffer Bits of the compressed data are entered into the buffer as they are being generated and are moved out of it at a constant rate, to be transmitted It is easy to see intuitively...
... order to remove ambiguity, the term “edoc” is used here to refer to them Each edoc is converted to a prefix code that’s output The first table allocates edocs through 255 to the literals, edoc 256 to ... frequency It is also possible to modify this transform to conserve the energy of the data vector All that’s needed is to multiply the transformation matrix W by the scale factor 1/2 Thus, the product ... statistical model of the data They are based on the fact that the data files that are of interest to us, the files we want to compress and keep for later use, are not random A typical data file features...
... wavelet transform is the tool used in practice to analyze digital data and compress it The wavelet transform is a tool that cuts up data or functions or operators into different frequency components, ... compressed in a single left -to- right, top -to- bottom scan; (b) progressive mode where the image is compressed in multiple blocks (known as “scans”) to be viewed from coarse to fine detail; (c) lossless ... DCT when applied to a continuous-tone image and to a discrete-tone image We start with the highly correlated pattern of Table 5.10 This is an idealized example of a continuous-tone image, since...
