Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a compressive encoding apparatus, a compressive encoding method, a decoding apparatus, a decoding method, and a program which can provide a lossless compression technology having a higher compression rate. An encoding unit of the compressive encoding apparatus converts M bits of a ΔΣ-modulated digital signal into N bits (M>N) with reference to a first conversion table, and when the M bits are not able to be converted into the N bits with the first conversion table, converts the M bits into the N bits with reference to a second conversion table. When the number of bit patterns of the N bits is P, the first conversion table is a table storing (P−1) number of codes having higher generation frequencies for past bit patterns, and the second conversion table is a table storing (P−1) number of codes having higher generation frequencies for past bit patterns, which follow those of the first conversion table. The present disclosure is applicable to a compressive encoding apparatus that compressively encoding an audio signal, and the like, for example.
