Proposed lossy compression method using RLE and segmentation

Abstract EN

The idea from this research is to combine the segmentation techniques with lossy RLE to produce a lossy compression algorithm.

The first step is to apply the segmentation techniques on the gray image (256 colors) to reduce the gray levels of the image and approximate the values of neighbor’s pixels, the next one is applying the proposed lossy RLE on the segmented image to achieve high compression ratio.
