  • Method for encoding color images
    Patent number: 5247589
    Abstract: Color image information is encoded by grouping together adjacent pixels into blocks, determining which one of several templates each block most closely approximates, and encoding each block in accordance with the rules for a particular template. Data compression without loss of image quality results because the encoding rules for each template ignore irrelevant or duplicative information, thereby saving space for information that is important.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 1991
    Date of Patent: September 21, 1993
    Assignee: Radius Inc.
    Inventors: Jerome F. Faul, Julien T. Nguyen
