A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR COMPRESSION AND STORAGE OF IMAGES

Abstract

During the past decades we have been observing a permanent increase in image data, leading to huge repositories.[1]. This paper focuses on image compression and storage. We define methods to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of image compression. Image compression refers to represent an image with as few bits as possible while preserving the level of quality and intelligibility required for a particular application. The present work aims to develop an efficient algorithm for compression and storage of two-tone image. In this paper, an efficient coding technique is proposed and termed as line- skipping coding for two-tone image. The technique exploits 2-D correlation present in the image. This new algorithm is devised to reduce fifty to seventy five percentage of memory storage.
