Abstract

Data compression and decompression have been widely applied in modern communication and data transmission fields. But how to decompress corrupted lossless compressed files is still a challenge. This paper presents an effective method to decompress corrupted LZSS files. It is achieved by utilizing source prior information and heuristic method. In this paper, we propose to use compression coding rules and grammar rules as the source prior information. Based on the prior information, we establish a mathematical model to detect error bits and estimate the rough range of the error bits. As for error correction, a heuristic method is developed to determine the accurate positions of error bits and correct the errors. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FTD method can achieve a correction rate of 96.45% for corrupted LZSS files when successfully decompressed. More importantly, the proposed method is a general model that can be applied to decompress various types of lossless compressed files of which the original files are natural language texts.
