A METHOD OF COMPRESSION OF GRAPHICS IMAGES AND VIDEOS

摘要

Compression of graphics images and videos includes partitioning an image into blocks, determining the number of bitplanes for encoding each block, encoding the block by grouping pixel values so that within each group, the pixel values are the same or similar, sending the number of bitplanes, sending the number of groups and the pixel value of each group and sending a signal for each pixel to indicate the group for that pixel, as well as using leftover bits from a bit budget for sending refinement bits for pixels.
