Simulation and Evaluation of the AT&T Proposed Pattern Recognition Algorithm for Group 4 Facsimile.
Abstract
CCITT is actively working toward the standardization of Group 4 facsimile. One of the key elements of this CCITT recommendation shall be the compression algorithm for encoding the transmitted facsimile signal. A preliminary standard for this coding technique has been established consisting of and extension of the Group 3 Modified READ Code (MRC). Several investigators have studied a class of more advanced compression techniques which recognize recurring patterns (such as textual characters) and transmit a short ASCII-like code to represent such a symbol. The compression for this type of coding algorithm exceeds that for the basic Group 4 algorithm by a significant degree. Since these compression techniques normally require an error free environment, which is available in Group 4 Facsimile, AT&T has submitted a specific proposal (Appendix B) to the CCITT for the design of such a pattern recognition coding technique. The purpose of this effort was to simulate and evaluate the AT&T proposal. Keywords include: Facsimile; Compression algorithm; and Pattern recognition.
