Improved Adaptive Arithmetic Coding for HEVC Video Compression Technology

The paper presents Improved Adaptive Arithmetic Coding algorithm for application in forthcoming HEVC video compression technology. The proposed solution is based on standard CABAC algorithm and uses author's new mechanism of data statistics modeling that is based on CTW technique. The improved CABAC algorithm is characterized with better compression performance relative to standard CABAC. In the framework of HEVC encoder 1.6% - 4.5% bitrate reduction was obtained when using improved CABAC instead of the original algorithm.
