Abstract

A method for encoding a series of symbols using several models of the arithmetic or range coder type and including steps where each model is associated with a belonging criterion, the series is run through in order to determine, for each symbol, the encoding model to which each symbol belongs, according to the criteria; then a probability of occurrence of each symbol in the corresponding model is determined; then the series is run through by encoding each symbol successively; and a file is formed from the code thus obtained.
