Abstract

To compress the values of the pixels of a digitalized image, the values of the pixels neighboring the pixel to be processed are memorized and, according to their respective values, a code number is produced leading to the encoding process according to a composed code or to the encoding of the pixel itself, with a prefix. The successive codes are formatted and concatenated to be memorized.
