matlab huffmanenco,Encode sequence of symbols by Huffman encoding

Create unique symbols, and assign probabilities of occurrence to them.

symbols = 1:6;

p = [.5 .125 .125 .125 .0625 .0625];

Create a Huffman dictionary based on the symbols and their probabilities.

dict = huffmandict(symbols,p);

Generate a vector of random symbols.

inputSig = randsrc(100,1,[symbols;p]);

Encode the random symbols.

code = huffmanenco(inputSig,dict);

Decode the data. Verify that the decoded symbols match the original symbols.

sig = huffmandeco(code,dict);

isequal(inputSig,sig)

ans = logical

1

Convert the original signal to a binary, and determine the length of the binary symbols.

binarySig = de2bi(inputSig);

seqLen = numel(binarySig)

seqLen = 300

Convert the Huffman-encoded symbols to binary, and determine the length of the encoded binary symbols.

binaryComp = de2bi(code);

encodedLen = numel(binaryComp)

encodedLen = 224
