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:
T a 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_byteio input/output for encoded bits
number_of_contexts the 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_data the 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_data the output into which the decompressed data is written.
num_bytes the number of bytes to be read from the bitstream.

template<class T>
virtual void dirac::ArithCodec< T >::DoWorkCode T &  in_data  )  [protected, pure virtual]
 

Implemented in dirac::BandCodec, dirac::LFBandCodec, dirac::IntraDCBandCodec, and dirac::MvDataCodec.

template<class T>
virtual void dirac::ArithCodec< T >::DoWorkDecode T &  out_data  )  [protected, pure virtual]
 

Implemented in dirac::BandCodec, dirac::LFBandCodec, dirac::IntraDCBandCodec, and dirac::MvDataCodec.
