Abstract
The present invention relates to a Huffman decoding method. Firstly, a Huffman table including multiple Huffman codes and multiple corresponding size/symbol codes is extracted. Each Huffman code comprises a codeword and each size/symbol code comprises a size code and a symbol code. Then, multiple mask codes are generated according to the size codes. Then, masking operations are performed on successive 16 bits of the compression bit stream and the mask codes, thereby outputting multiple masking results. Subsequently, logic operations on the masking results and the Huffman codes, thereby generating multiple are performed on the new Huffman codes, wherein each new Huffman code includes the codeword. It is discriminated whether the 16 bits of the compression bit stream complies with a specific one of new Huffman codes, thereby outputting the size/symbol code corresponding to the codeword.
