  • the Huffman code is very sensitive to the error code. Usually, a bit error will cause the subsequent variable length codes to be decoded correctly, that is, the start and end positions of the variable length code cannot be correctly located, so the variable length code is used when there is noise interference. error diffusion is very serious, when the bit error rate 10--4, the variable length code symbol error rate as high as 10-2 or more.
  • variable length code symbol refers to a binary bit string representing a "source symbol", for example, in Table 1, for a Huffinan code, the variable length code symbol representing the source symbol S1 is "00"; representing a source symbol The variable length code symbol of S2 is "01".
  • the variable length code symbol error refers to any bit error in the variable length code symbol, and the symbol is an error, thereby counting the variable length code symbol error probability, not the statistical bit error probability.

  • the symbol of the variable length code is incorrect. It means that only the symbol substitution error occurs in the variable length code, and the variable length
  • the sequence number of the code (that is, the sequence number of any variable length code in the data stream) has not changed, and is hereinafter referred to as the first type of error.
  • variable length code The serial number of the variable length code is incorrect. It is caused by the insertion and deletion of the variable length code. That is, because one or more variable length codes are inserted or deleted, the subsequent variable length code number will be corresponding.
  • the ground is increased or decreased, which is hereinafter referred to as the second type of error.
  • variable length codes When an error occurs, some variable length codes will have both the first type and the second type of error; some variable length codes are decoded correctly, there is no first type of error, but because of the insertion and deletion errors in front of them, the serial number It will increase or decrease accordingly, that is, a second type of error will occur accordingly.
  • variable length code schemes proposed for the error diffusion effect of Huffman variable length codes are only the first type of errors that reduce variable length codes, such as fast sync comma code and reverse solvable long code (Reversible).
  • VLC hereinafter referred to as RVLC
  • RVLC right side chain code
  • Table 5 lists the Huffman code, comma code, and RVLC's 5 source symbol encoding examples.
  • the Huffman code has the shortest average code length, but it is prone to error spread, resulting in the first and second types of errors of the variable length code.
  • a bit error will cause many subsequent source symbols to be decoded incorrectly, and insert and delete errors will occur; the question mark in the figure indicates that the corresponding code table is exceeded and cannot be decoded correctly.
  • RVLC is characterized by being able to decode from both the forward and reverse directions. When a variable length code decoding error is found, it can be decoded from the reverse direction to recover the variable length code as much as possible. Although RVLC can decode in the reverse direction, in the decoding of the two directions, it is difficult to determine the error from the codeword itself. Where is it, as shown in Figure 3, it is difficult to determine which of the forward and reverse decoding errors in the question mark is a true error, so it is difficult to determine which codewords are truly correctly decoded codewords. In practical applications, the rationality of the codewords solved can usually be judged by the actual content of the codec.
  • comma code has the function of fast synchronization. Only one of them is shown in Table 1. There are other types of comma codes, but the functions are similar. Although comma code overcomes the error diffusion effect of Huffman code, it often has insertion and deletion errors, and it is easy to produce the second type of error of variable length code. As shown in Figure 2, one bit in the source S5 is incorrect, so that S5 is decoded into S2 and S3, which is equivalent to an insertion error. At this time, although the right side of S1, S2, and S3 continue to decode normally, Their serial numbers will be incremented by 1, which is the second type of error.
  • variable length codes with synchronization function can effectively reduce the first type of error, that is, the symbol substitution error of the variable length code; however, if an insertion and deletion error occurs, all subsequent changes are made.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un nouveau procédé de codage et de décodage à longueur variable lequel procédé permettant de résoudre les erreurs de numéro de séquences VLC qui apparaissaient souvent dans les procédés de l'art antérieur. Dans cette invention, au moins deux types de séquences VLC sont utilisés alternativement pour le codage à longueur variable lors du codage de la source des signaux, et les trains de bits sont décodés par différentes séquences VLC alternativement d'après les règles de codage lors du décodage de la source des signaux. Lorsque le bit synchronisé de l'une des séquences VLC est faux, si le décodage est directement exécuté sans correction d'erreurs, la règle des séquences VLC alternatives est détruite. A ce moment là, une probabilité à posteriori peut être utilisée pour évaluer la probabilité d'erreur maximum, et la probabilité à posteriori maximum peut être obtenue en tant que résultat du décodage, ce qui permet de conserver les séquences VLC alternatives. Selon le procédé décrit dans cette invention, il n'y a pas d'erreurs d'insertion ou de suppression, et chaque numéro d'ordre reste inchangé.
