#116671 - sparse data Responding to: ???'s previous message |
If your random data is rather sparse i.e there are lots of bytes at '0' then one technique i have used is to count how many '0' bytes there are until a non-zero byte.so if you had say 0,0,0,0,32,0,0,0,0,0,3 as your data you can code it as 4,32,5,3 if you structure the data right you can work out when you come to decode it if the '5'is a zero count or 'real' data by seeing if adding 5 '0's exceeds the size of the data set. |
