IPP's Huffman for compressing

[fernando_ftf]

Hi,

I'm developing a program that uses huffman tree and I wouldlike touse the IPP's Huffmanto do it. I have readed the IPP manualbutcouldnt findany solution. Please, can anyone help meto use IPP's Huffmanfor general proposer (compressing)?

Thanks,

Fernando.

Hi,

huffman codec functions in ippAC library were designed for using in audio compression. If you need some general algorithm - please submit your request through technical support channels.

Acctualy, Primitivies were designed to be used in regular Huffman encoding too:
You can use the following functions to perfrom Huffman encoding:
ippsGetSizeHET_VLC_32s
ippsBuildHET_VLC_32s
ippsCountBits_1tuple_VLC_16s
ippsCountBits_2tuple_VLC_16s
ippsCountBits_4tuple_VLC_16s
ippsEncodeBlock_1tuple_VLC_16s
ippsEncodeBlock_2tuple_VLC_16s
ippsEncodeBlock_4tuple_VLC_16s

Please pay attantioon to Example 10-4, 10-6 in ipps manual to understand how these functions should be used.
For real example of usage you can investigate AAC encoder
