Abstract

We propose a new coding scheme for lossless compression. This scheme, variable-bit-length coding, stores different grayscale values using a different number of bits. The compression performance of variable-bit-length coding coupled with a preprocessing method called remapping is compared with the compression performance of well known coding methods such as Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, and LZW coding. On the bechmark suite of 10 images used by us, remapping with variable-bit-length coding obtained maximum compression more often than did any other coding method.
