An entropy encoding is a coding scheme that assigns codes to symbols so as to match code lengths with the probabilities of the symbols. Typically, entropy encoders are used to compress data by replacing symbols represented by equal-length codes with symbols represented by codes proportional to the negative logarithm of the probability. Therefore, the most common symbols use the shortest codes.
According to Shannon's theorem, the optimal code length for a symbol is -logbP, where b is the number of symbols used to make output codes and P is the probability of the input symbol.
An entropy encoding is a coding scheme that involves assigning codes to symbols so as to match code lengths with the probabilities of the symbols.
Typically, entropy encoders are used to compress data by replacing symbols represented by equal-length codes with symbols represented by codesproportional to the negative logarithm of the probability.

An entropy encoding/decoding scheme uses an arithmetic encoder/decoder together with a context modeler for performing a context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding, which is especially suited for video compression applications.
