Abstract

An apparatus of a text image coding and decoding system includes a decomposer to decompose image data to extract a stripe image having one or more symbols, a matching unit to match the symbols with reference symbols of a symbol dictionary, and a dynamic symbol caching unit to generate one or more new symbols when the one or more new symbols of the symbols are not included in the symbol dictionary, and to remove the least used one or more of the reference symbols, so that the symbol dictionary is updated as an updated symbol dictionary with the one or more new symbols and without the least used one or more reference symbols.
