An Efficient Lossless Compression Method for Periodic Signals Based on Adaptive Dictionary Predictive Coding

This paper reports on an efficient lossless compression method for periodic signals based on adaptive dictionary predictive coding. Some previous methods for data compression, such as difference pulse coding (DPCM), discrete cosine transform (DCT), lifting wavelet transform (LWT) and KL transform (KLT), lack a suitable transformation method to make these data less redundant and better compressed. A new predictive coding approach, basing on the adaptive dictionary, is proposed to improve the compression ratio of the periodic signal. The main criterion of lossless compression is the compression ratio (CR). In order to verify the effectiveness of the adaptive dictionary predictive coding for periodic signal compression, different transform coding technologies, including DPCM, 2-D DCT, and 2-D LWT, are compared. The results obtained prove that the adaptive dictionary predictive coding can effectively improve data compression efficiency compared with traditional transform coding technology.
