An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a first volatile memory, a second volatile memory, and a video decoder. In response to the video decoder starting video decoding on a current frame of a video stream, the video decoder reads an initial probability table for the current frame from a memory unit external to the integrated circuit, and stores the initial probability table in the first volatile memory. When a decoding phase of the current tile is completed, the video decoder complements the probability table corresponding to each row of the second volatile memory according to control flags corresponding to the rows of the first volatile memory and the second volatile memory to obtain a complete probability table, and writes the complete probability table to the memory unit.

The disclosure provides a method for image compression and a device using the same method. The method includes: retrieving an image block including pixels, wherein each pixel include a plurality of channel data; defining root nodes according to an image compressing ratio of the image block; categorizing each channel data of each pixel into groups corresponding to the root nodes, wherein a structure of each group is a binary tree; if an empty tree exists in the aforementioned groups, dividing an non-empty tree of the groups into sub-trees and replacing the empty tree and the non-empty tree with the sub-trees to update the groups and the root nodes; building a center value of each group and determining a group index of each channel data of each group; encoding the center value of each group and characterizing each channel data as the corresponding center value and the group index to compress each channel data.
