Enhanced Extraction from Huffman Encoded Files

Abstract:
Given a file T, and the Huffman encoding of its elements, we suggest using a pruning technique for Wavelet trees that enables direct access to the ith element of T by reordering the bits of the compressed file and using some additional space. When compared to a traditional Wavelet tree for Huffman Codes, our different reordering of the bits usually requires less additional storage overhead by reducing the need for auxiliary rank structures, while improving processing time for extracting the ith element of T.
