ABSTRACT:
A bandwidth reduction system which encodes images without significant degradation of edge information. A PCM encoded signal, which may be an image generated by the sampling of a video signal or of other format is separated into two channels in which the upper bit plane is processed in one channel by an entropy preserving encoding process and the lower bit planes are processed in the other channel by a nonentropy preserving encoding process. The resultant signals are recombined to reconstitute each sample into a multibit PCM signal with reduced bandwidth which retains significant edge information.
