ABSTRACT:
An image with multiple gradations is divided into a plurality of pixel blocks each of which comprises a plurality of pixels. Pixel data of the pixel block are compressed to two representing values indicative of pixel levels and a binary block pattern by block approximation coding. Representing patterns of which the number is less than that of the block patterns are set previously. A plurality of block patterns having a specific relationship with one of the representing patterns are replaced with the one of the representing patterns, so that the block patterns are compressed.
