Codificación Huffman | Codicioso Algo-3 – Part 1

La codificación Huffman es un algoritmo de compresión de datos sin pérdidas. La idea es asignar códigos de longitud variable a los caracteres de entrada, las longitudes de los códigos asignados se basan en las frecuencias de los caracteres correspondientes. El carácter más frecuente obtiene el código más pequeño y el carácter menos frecuente obtiene el código más grande.
Los códigos de longitud variable asignados a los caracteres de entrada son códigos de prefijo , lo que significa que los códigos (secuencias de bits) se asignan de tal manera que el código asignado a un carácter no es el prefijo del código asignado a ningún otro carácter. Así es como Huffman Coding se asegura de que no haya ambigüedad al decodificar el flujo de bits generado. 
Entendamos los códigos de prefijo con un contraejemplo. Sean cuatro caracteres a, b, c y d, y sus correspondientes códigos de longitud variable sean 00, 01, 0 y 1. Esta codificación genera ambigüedad porque el código asignado a c es el prefijo de los códigos asignados a ay b. Si el flujo de bits comprimido es 0001, la salida descomprimida puede ser «cccd» o «ccb» o «acd» o «ab».
Ver esto para aplicaciones de Huffman Coding. 
Hay principalmente dos partes principales en Huffman Coding

  1. Cree un árbol de Huffman a partir de los caracteres de entrada.
  2. Atraviesa el árbol de Huffman y asigna códigos a los personajes.

Pasos para construir el árbol de Huffman
La entrada es una array de caracteres únicos junto con su frecuencia de aparición y la salida es el árbol de Huffman.
