Huffman編碼介紹
Huffman編碼處理的是字符以及字符對應的二進制的編碼配對問題，分為編碼和解碼，目的是壓縮字符對應的二進制數據長度。我們知道字符存貯和傳輸的時候都是二進制的(計算機只認識0/1)，那麼就有字符與二進制之間的mapping關係。字符屬於字符集(Charset), 字符需要通過編碼(encode)為二進制進行存貯和傳輸，顯示的時候需要解碼(decode)回字符，字符集與編碼方法是一對多關係(Unicode可以用UTF-8,UTF-16等編碼)。理解了字符集，編碼以及解碼，滿天飛的亂碼問題也就游刃而解了。以英文字母小寫a為例, ASCII編碼中，十進制為97，二進制為01100001。 ASCII的每一個字符都用8個Bit(1Byte)編碼，假如有1000個字符要傳輸，那麼就要傳輸8000個Bit。問題來了，英文中字母e的使用頻率為12.702%，而z為0.074%，前者是後者的100多倍，但是確使用相同位數的二進制。可以做得更好，方法就是可變長度編碼，指導原則就是頻率高的用較短的位數編碼，頻率低的用較長位數編碼。 Huffman編碼算法就是處理這樣的問題。
Huffman編碼Java實現
Huffman編碼算法主要用到的數據結構是完全二叉樹(full binary tree)和優先級隊列。後者用的是Java.util.PriorityQueue，前者自己實現(都為內部類)，代碼如下:
static class Tree { private Node root; public Node getRoot() { return root; } public void setRoot(Node root) { this.root = root; } } static class Node implements Comparable<Node> { private String chars = ""; private int frequence = 0; private Node parent; private Node leftNode; private Node rightNode; @Override public int compareTo(Node n) { return frequence - n.frequence; } public boolean isLeaf() { return chars.length() == 1; } public boolean isRoot() { return parent == null; } public boolean isLeftChild() { return parent != null && this == parent.leftNode; } public int getFrequence() { return frequence; } public void setFrequence(int frequence) { this.frequence = frequence; } public String getChars() { return chars; } public void setChars(String chars) { this.chars = chars; } public Node getParent() { return parent; } public void setParent(Node parent) { this.parent = parent; } public Node getLeftNode() { return leftNode; } public void setLeftNode(Node leftNode) { this.leftNode = leftNode; } public Node getRightNode() { return rightNode; } public void setRightNode(Node rightNode) { this.rightNode = rightNode; } }統計數據
既然要按頻率來安排編碼表，那麼首先當然得獲得頻率的統計信息。我實現了一個方法處理這樣的問題。如果已經有統計信息，那麼轉為Map<Character,Integer>即可。如果你得到的信息是百分比，乘以100或1000，或10000。總是可以轉為整數。比如12.702%乘以1000為12702，Huffman編碼只關心大小問題。統計方法實現如下：
public static Map<Character, Integer> statistics(char[] charArray) { Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<Character, Integer>(); for (char c : charArray) { Character character = new Character(c); if (map.containsKey(character)) { map.put(character, map.get(character) + 1); } else { map.put(character, 1); } } return map; }構建樹
構建樹是Huffman編碼算法的核心步驟。思想是把所有的字符掛到一顆完全二叉樹的葉子節點，任何一個非頁子節點的左節點出現頻率不大於右節點。算法為把統計信息轉為Node存放到一個優先級隊列裡面，每一次從隊列裡面彈出兩個最小頻率的節點，構建一個新的父Node(非葉子節點), 字符內容剛彈出來的兩個節點字符內容之和，頻率也是它們的和，最開始的彈出來的作為左子節點，後面一個作為右子節點，並且把剛構建的父節點放到隊列裡面。重複以上的動作N-1次，N為不同字符的個數(每一次隊列裡面個數減1)。結束以上步驟，隊列裡面剩一個節點，彈出作為樹的根節點。代碼如下:
private static Tree buildTree(Map<Character, Integer> statistics, List<Node> leafs) { Character[] keys = statistics.keySet().toArray(new Character[0]); PriorityQueue<Node> priorityQueue = new PriorityQueue<Node>(); for (Character character : keys) { Node node = new Node(); node.chars = character.toString(); node.frequence = statistics.get(character); priorityQueue.add(node); leafs.add(node); } int size = priorityQueue.size(); for (int i = 1; i <= size - 1; i++) { Node node1 = priorityQueue.poll(); Node node2 = priorityQueue.poll(); Node sumNode = new Node(); sumNode.chars = node1.chars + node2.chars; sumNode.frequence = node1.frequence + node2.frequence; sumNode.leftNode = node1; sumNode.rightNode = node2; node1.parent = sumNode; node2.parent = sumNode; priorityQueue.add(sumNode); } Tree tree = new Tree(); tree.root = priorityQueue.poll(); return tree; }編碼
某個字符對應的編碼為，從該字符所在的葉子節點向上搜索，如果該字符節點是父節點的左節點，編碼字符之前加0，反之如果是右節點，加1，直到根節點。只要獲取了字符和二進制碼之間的mapping關係，編碼就非常簡單。代碼如下:
public static String encode(String originalStr, Map<Character, Integer> statistics) { if (originalStr == null || originalStr.equals("")) { return ""; } char[] charArray = originalStr.toCharArray(); List<Node> leafNodes = new ArrayList<Node>(); buildTree(statistics, leafNodes); Map<Character, String> encodInfo = buildEncodingInfo(leafNodes); StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); for (char c : charArray) { Character character = new Character(c); buffer.append(encodInfo.get(character)); } return buffer.toString(); } private static Map<Character, String> buildEncodingInfo(List<Node> leafNodes) { Map<Character, String> codewords = new HashMap<Character, String>(); for (Node leafNode : leafNodes) { Character character = new Character(leafNode.getChars().charAt(0)); String codeword = ""; Node currentNode = leafNode; do { if (currentNode.isLeftChild()) { codeword = "0" + codeword; } else { codeword = "1" + codeword; } currentNode = currentNode.parent; } while (currentNode.parent != null); codewords.put(character, codeword); } return codewords; }解碼
因為Huffman編碼算法能夠保證任何的二進制碼都不會是另外一個碼的前綴，解碼非常簡單，依次取出二進制的每一位，從樹根向下搜索，1向右，0向左，到了葉子節點(命中)，退回根節點繼續重複以上動作。代碼如下:
public static String decode(String binaryStr, Map<Character, Integer> statistics) { if (binaryStr == null || binaryStr.equals("")) { return ""; } char[] binaryCharArray = binaryStr.toCharArray(); LinkedList<Character> binaryList = new LinkedList<Character>(); int size = binaryCharArray.length; for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { binaryList.addLast(new Character(binaryCharArray[i])); } List<Node> leafNodes = new ArrayList<Node>(); Tree tree = buildTree(statistics, leafNodes); StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); while (binaryList.size() > 0) { Node node = tree.root; do { Character c = binaryList.removeFirst(); if (c.charValue() == '0') { node = node.leftNode; } else { node = node.rightNode; } } while (!node.isLeaf()); buffer.append(node.chars); } return buffer.toString(); }測試以及比較
以下測試Huffman編碼的正確性(先編碼，後解碼，包括中文)，以及Huffman編碼與常見的字符編碼的二進製字符串比較。代碼如下:
public static void main(String[] args) { String oriStr = "Huffman codes compress data very effectively: savings of 20% to 90% are typical, " + "depending on the characteristics of the data being compressed. 中華崛起"; Map<Character, Integer> statistics = statistics(oriStr.toCharArray()); String encodedBinariStr = encode(oriStr, statistics); String decodedStr = decode(encodedBinariStr, statistics); System.out.println("Original sstring: " + oriStr); System.out.println("Huffman encoed binary string: " + encodedBinariStr); System.out.println("decoded string from binariy string: " + decodedStr); System.out.println("binary string of UTF-8: " + getStringOfByte(oriStr, Charset.forName("UTF-8"))); System.out.println("binary string of UTF-16: " + getStringOfByte(oriStr, Charset.forName("UTF-16"))); System.out.println("binary string of US-ASCII: " + getStringOfByte(oriStr, Charset.forName("US-ASCII"))); System.out.println("binary string of GB2312: " + getStringOfByte(oriStr, Charset.forName("GB2312"))); } public static String getStringOfByte(String str, Charset charset) { if (str == null || str.equals("")) { return ""; } byte[] byteArray = str.getBytes(charset); int size = byteArray.length; StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { byte temp = byteArray[i]; buffer.append(getStringOfByte(temp)); } return buffer.toString(); } public static String getStringOfByte(byte b) { StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); for (int i = 7; i >= 0; i--) { byte temp = (byte) ((b >> i) & 0x1); buffer.append(String.valueOf(temp)); } return buffer.toString(); }以上就是本文的全部內容，希望對大家的學習有所幫助，也希望大家多多支持武林網。
