23rd EUROMICRO Conference '97 New Frontiers of Information Technology A new algorithm for monochromatic image compression Budapest, HUNGARY September 01-September 04 ISBN: 0-8186-8129-2
This paper presents a new algorithm for image compression which makes use of a variation of the run-length encoding and Huffman codes. This algorithm was tested on monochromatic images of letters and documents. A comparative study with other compression methods is presented. In the best case, our algorithm is almost 53% more efficient than the version of the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm used in GIF files.
