Data Compression of the Kanji Character Patterns Digitized on the Hexagonal Mesh
Shuzo Yajima, Jan L. Goodsell, Takao Ichida, Hiromi Hiraishi · IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence · 1981
This correspondence describes new two-stage data compression algorithms of Kanji character patterns digitized on the hexagonal mesh. One third of the pattern elements are stored, and an additional small amount of data is used to correct effors in the recovered pattern. A data reduction of 60 percent has been achieved.
