ABSTRACT:
One-dimensional compression is effected by addressing a first ROM (62) with information in respect of the length and the type of run. One-dimensional decompression is effected by addressing with the compressed code, a second ROM, bearing the information in respect of the runs and the length of the code. That is provided by a shift register controlled by a logic unit capable of recognising a group of least significant bits, to permit additional shifting of the register, and addressing of the second ROM with a bit number less than the maximum length of the codes. For two-dimensional compression or decompression, there is provided a pair of RAMs for temporarily storing a reference line which, together with the current line, actuates a logic means (38), for controlling coding and decoding of the latter. For compression of the medium tones, besides the runs of the two colors, coding is effect in respect of the runs of the alternations of the two colors defined on the basis of the color of the initial pixel, and the type of the successive run is defined. Besides the coding and decoding for two-color images, the two ROMs also carry the coding and decoding for images with the half tone. Finally, the apparatus comprises an archive memory which can be connected to the compression module for archival storage of the images with the maximum degree of compression. By instead connecting the decompression module between the archive memory and the compression module, the image can be transmitted with a type of compression compatible with the receiving station.
