  • Abstract
    This study introduces error control to the block arithmetic coding for image compression (BACIC): a new method for lossless bilevel image compression. BACIC can successfully transmit bilevel images when channel bit error rates are as high as 10-3 while providing compression ratios twice that of G3, the only facsimile standard which incorporates error control into its algorithm.
