Project Objective

Support user to compress and decompress text file. Provide a Better understanding Compression Algorithm. of Huffman File

Facilitate user to understand/study the how algorithm is work.

Project Scope

This project will develop and deliver a new application and this is a s study based project. The new application enable you can reduce the size of any text file and allowed data accuracy and save disc space. The new application can give the idea and better understanding to who study the Huffman coding algorithm technique we can use in the real life application. To make the existing system more efficient.

About Huffman Algorithm

It was developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Ph.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".

About Huffman Algorithm

Huffman coding is an encoding algorithm used for lossless data compression. Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data. The term lossless is in contrast to lossy data compression, which only allows an approximation of the original data to be reconstructed, in exchange for better compression rates.

Existing System

Existing system refers to the system that is being followed till now. The main disadvantage of this system is that the users depend on third party software's like winzip, winrar, Stuff etc. The existing system requires more computational time, more manual calculations, and the complexity involved in Selection of features is high. .

Drawback Of Existing System

Deficiency of Data accuracy Time consuming. The users depend on third party software's like winzip, winrar, Stuff etc.

Proposed System

The aim of proposed system is to develop a system of improved facilities. The proposed system tries to eliminate or reduce difficulties up to some extent. The proposed system is file/folder compression or decompression based on the Huffman algorithm. The proposed system will help the user to consume time. The proposed system helps the user to work user friendly and he can easily do the file compression process without time lagging. The system is very simple in design and to implement. The system requires very low system resources and the system will work in almost all configurations.

Advantage of Proposed System

The system is very simple in design and to implement. The system requires very low system resources and the system will work in almost all configurations. Ensure data accuracy and Save disk space Minimum time needed for the file compression. The user need not depend on third party software's like winzip, winrar, Stuff etc.

Current research and future directions

With the advancements in compression technology, it is now very easy and efficient to compress video files. Various video compression techniques are available. The most common video compression standard is MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)[31]. It is a working group of ISO/IEC charged with the development of video and audio encoding standards. An excellent follow-up paper for this one would be to investigate the more sophisticated versions of Huffman coding algorithms. In future , the algorithms achieve much better compression ratios and are better able to compete with todays tools.
