I'm working on this lab where we need to apply a lossless predictive coding to an image before compressing it (with Huffman, or some other lossless compression algorithm).



From the example seen below, it's pretty clear that by pre-processing the image with predictive coding, we've modified its histogram and concentrated all of its grey levels around 0. But why exactly does this aid compression?



Is there maybe a formula to determine the compression rate of Huffman, knowing the standard deviation and entropy of the original image? Otherwise, why would the compression ratio be any different; it's not like the range of values has changed between the original image and pre-processed image.





Thank you in advance,



Liam.

          Huffman coding, as usually applied, only considers the distribution of singletons. If $X$ is the distribution of a random singleton, then Huffman coding uses between $H(X)$ and $H(X)+1$ bits per singleton, where $H(cdot)$ is the (log 2) entropy function.



          In contrast, predictive coding can take into account correlations across data points. As a simple example, consider the following sequence:
          $$
          0,1,2,ldots,255,0,1,2,ldots,255,ldots
          $$

          Huffman coding would use 8 bits per unit of data, whereas with predictive coding we could get potentially to $O(log n)$ bits for the entire sequence.
