Moon-Ki Cho, Yung-Sup Yoon · Journal of the Institute of Electronics Engineers of Korea · 2012
block truncation coding(BTC) image compression is known as a simple and efficient technology for image compression algorithm. In this paper, we propose RMC-BTC algorithm(RMC : reduction method chrominace data) for color image compression. To compress chrominace data, in every BTC block, the RMC-BTC coding employs chrominace data expressed with average of chrominace data and using method of luminance data bit-map to represented chrominance data bit-map. Experimental results shows efficiency of proposed algorithm, as compared with PSNR and compression ratio of the conventional BTC method.
