Detailed Description

template<class T>
class dirac::ArithCodec< T >

This is an abtract binary arithmetic encoding class, used as the base for concrete classes that encode motion vectors and subband residues.

Parameters:
Ta container (most probably, or array) type

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T >
dirac::ArithCodec< T >::ArithCodec ( ByteIO p_byteio,
size_t  number_of_contexts 
)

Creates an ArithCodec object to decode input based on a set of parameters.

Parameters:
p_byteioinput/output for encoded bits
number_of_contextsthe number of contexts used
template<class T>
virtual dirac::ArithCodec< T >::~ArithCodec ( ) [inline, virtual]

Destructor is virtual as this class is abstract.


Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
int dirac::ArithCodec< T >::Compress ( T &  in_data)

Compress takes a type T object (a container or array) and compresses it using the abstract function DoWorkCode() which is overridden in subclasses. It returns the number of bits written.

Parameters:
in_datathe input to be compressed. Non-const, since the compression may be lossy.
template<class T>
void dirac::ArithCodec< T >::Decompress ( T &  out_data,
const int  num_bytes 
)

Decompresses the bitstream, up to the number of bytes specified and writes into the output subclasses.

Parameters:
out_datathe output into which the decompressed data is written.
num_bytesthe number of bytes to be read from the bitstream.
