File format used for images in embedded devices is mostly determined by limited available resources and performances. This paper proposes a new file format named ERLE which is adapted for usage in embedded devices. The format is presented by explaining the benefits of using this file format on embedded devices and drawbacks of using the standard image formats for image processing on small footprint embedded devices. Moreover, ERLE file format sections are described, as well as compression algorithms that are used and main file auxiliary structures for faster random pixel access.
