Abstract

In this paper we present a new lossless audio coding algorithm using Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) and Run Length Encoding (RLE).Audio signals used are assumed to be of floating point values. The BWT is applied to the audio signals to get the transformed coefficients and then these resulting coefficients are better compressed using Run Length Encoding. Two entropy coding are used which are Run Length Encoding and Huffman coding. Proposed compression algorithm is experimented and analyzed for two different stereo type audio signals. Compression ratio and Bit rate for audio coding has been used as a comparison parameter for proposed audio coding algorithm. Experimental result shows that the lossless audio coding algorithm outperforms other lossless audio coding methods; using combined Burrows Wheeler Transform & Move to front coding method ,using combined Burrows Wheeler Transform and Huffman coding method, and using Burrows Wheeler Transform ,Move to front coding method & Run Length Encoding method.
