如何快速解码霍夫曼代码?

时间:2010-02-10 07:52:33

标签: c++ decode huffman-code

我在Windows下使用纯霍夫曼代码实现了a simple compressor。但我不太了解如何快速解码压缩文件,我的错误算法是:

枚举代码表中的所有霍夫曼代码,然后将其与压缩文件中的位进行比较。结果是可怕的结果:解压缩3MB文件需要6个小时。

你能提供更高效的算法吗?我应该使用Hash还是什么?

更新: 根据我朋友Lin的建议,我已经用状态表实现了the decoder。我认为这种方法应该优于traveal huffman tree,6s内3MB。

感谢。

优化二叉树方法的一种方法是使用查找表。您可以对表进行排列,以便直接查找特定的编码位模式,从而允许任何代码的最大可能位宽。

由于大多数代码不使用完整的最大宽度,因此它们包含在表中的多个位置 - 每个未使用位组合的一个位置。该表指示从输入中丢弃的位数以及解码的输出。

如果最长的代码太长,那么该表是不切实际的,折衷方案是使用较小的固定宽度下标查找树。例如,您可以使用256项表来处理一个字节。如果输入代码超过8位,则表条目指示解码不完整,并将您引导至处理下一个最多8位的表。较大的表交换内存以获得速度 - 256个项目可能太小。

我认为这种通用方法称为“前缀表”,是BobMcGees引用的代码所做的。一个可能的区别是一些压缩算法要求在解压缩期间更新前缀表 - 这对于简单的霍夫曼来说不是必需的。 IIRC,我在一本关于位图图形文件格式的书中首次看到它,其中包括GIF,这是专利恐慌之前的一段时间。

从二叉树模型中预先计算完整查找表,哈希表等效项或小树表应该很容易。二叉树仍然是代码的关键表示 - 这个查找表只是优化。

为什么不看看GZIP source是如何做到的,特别是具体的unpack.c中的Huffman解压缩代码?它正是你正在做的事情,除了它做得更快,更快。

据我所知,它使用查找数组和对整个单词进行操作的移位/掩码操作来运行得更快。虽然相当密集的代码。

解压缩霍夫曼代码的典型方法是使用二叉树。您可以在树中插入代码,以便代码中的每个位代表左侧(0)或右侧(1)的分支,并在叶子中包含已解码的字节(或您拥有的任何值)。

然后,解码只是从编码内容中读取位的情况,每个位都在树上行走。当你到达一个叶子时,发出该解码值,并继续读取直到输入用尽。

更新: this page描述了该技术,并且具有精美的图形。

答案 3 :(得分:1)

您可以对通常的Huffmann树查找执行一种批量查找:

  1. 选择一个深度(称之为深度 n );这是构建表格的速度,内存和时间投资之间的权衡;
  2. 为长度 n 的所有2 ^ n 位字符串构建查找表。每个条目可以编码几个完整的令牌;通常还会有一些剩下的只是霍夫曼代码的前缀:对于其中的每一个,都要链接到该代码的另一个查找表;
  3. 构建更多查找表。表的总数最多比霍夫曼树中编码的条目数少一个。
  4. 选择深度为4的倍数,例如深度8,非常适合位移操作。

    Postscript 这与potatoswatter对unwind答案的评论以及Steve314使用多个表的答案不同:这意味着所有的 n 位查找都被放置了使用,所以应该更快,但使表构造和查找显着更棘手,并将为给定的深度消耗更多的空间。

为什么不在同一个源模块中使用解压缩算法?它似乎是一个不错的算法。

答案 5 :(得分:0)

其他答案是正确的,但这是我最近编写的Rust中的一些代码,用于使思想具体化。这是关键例程:

  fn decode( &self, input: &mut InpBitStream ) -> usize
  {
    let mut sym = self.lookup[ input.peek( self.peekbits ) ];
    if sym >= self.ncode
    {
      sym = self.lookup[ sym - self.ncode + ( input.peek( self.maxbits ) >> self.peekbits ) ];
    }  
    input.advance( self.nbits[ sym ] as usize );
    sym
  }

棘手的一点是设置查找表,请参阅Rust中完整的RFC 1951解码器中的BitDecoder :: setup_code。

// RFC 1951 inflate ( de-compress ).

{
  let mut inp = InpBitStream::new( &data );

  {
    let last = inp.get_bit();
