An imagery compression algorithm (Fig.2) is disclosed for transmitting image ry data to an aircraft over a relatively narrow bandwidth channel. The imagery data is first trimmed (60) to include only images required by the aircraft during flight. The image is also decluttered by removing geographical bounda ry lines (62) and isolated pixels that likely do not represent relevant weather imagery data. The compression scheme provides a plurality of instructions fo r compressing the image data. The first instruction depicts the number of multiple image lines that contains no imagery data, i.e., they indicate only the background display color. Two instructions identify short background col or segments and long background segments, wherein the division between short an d long segments is a predetermined value. Each of the data or color pixels is individually encoded with a fourth instructions characterizing the number of successive data pixels followed by a bit sequence indicating the color of ea ch individual data pixel.
