A SURVEY OF PICTORIAL DATA-COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES

Abstract

The results of a survey of pictorial data-compression techniques are summarized in this report. The survey was motivated by a study of half-time graphics communication over voice grade lines. The principal compression techniques surveyed include the following: the optimization of the parameters of ordinary pulse coded modulation, pulse coded modulation using added pseudo- random noise, differential pulse coded modulation, predictive differential pulse coded modulation, run-length encoding, brightness edge detection and the use of 'synthetic highs,' brightness contour detection and encoding, area encoding, picture compression in the Fourier domain.
