ABSTRACT:
An image compression method based on symbol matching is disclosed. Precompression of the image is performed prior to symbol matching to improve efficiency. A voting scheme is used in conjunction with a plurality of novel similarity tests to improve symbol matching accuracy. A template composition scheme achieves image enhancement. Other disclosed features provide further advantages. Apparatus for implementing the image compression method for image transmission, storage, and enhancement are included.
