The authors consider data compression of binary error diffused images. The original contribution is using nonlinear filters to decode error-diffused images to compress them in the gray-scale domain; this gives better image quality than directly compressing the binary images. Their method is of low computational complexity and can work with any halftoning algorithm.

A method for lossless compression of large binary images is proposed for applications where spatial access to the image is needed. The method utilizes the advantages of (1) variable-size context modeling in a form of context trees, and (2) forward-adaptive statistical compression. New strategies for constructing the context tree are considered, including a fast two-stage bottom-up approach. The...

The problem of storage or transmission of codevectors is an essential issue in vector quantization with custom codebook. The proposed technique for compression of codebooks relies on structuring and ordering properties of a binary split algorithm used for codebook design. A simple algorithm is presented for automatic ordering of the codebook entries in order to group similar codevectors. This s...

Efficient compression of binary textual images is very important for applications such as document archiving and retrieval, digital libraries and facsimile. The basic property of a textual image is the repetitions of small character images and curves inside the document. Exploiting the redundancy of these repetitions is the key step in most of the coding algorithms. In this paper, we use a simi...

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology has become a viable target for the implementation of algorithms in different compression methods applications. In a distributed environment, large data files remain a major bottleneck. Compression is an important component of the solutions available for creating file sizes of manageable and transmittable dimensions. When high-speed media or channe...

A method for compression of large binary images is proposed for applications where spatial access to the image is required. The proposed method is a two-stage combination of forward-adaptive modeling and backward-adaptive context based compression with reinitialization. Compression stage is performed by JBIG arithmetic coder, namely the QM-coder. The method improves the compression performance ...

Sign bit compression in fixed-point numbering systems can improve the dynamic range and round-off noise for signal processing algorithms. This paper analyses non-standard compression factors (CF) for compressed fixed-point data formats, where sign bit compression is performed on each individual fixed-point number. Although these compression techniques are applicable to other fixed-point formats...
