Abstract :
Palettized or indexed color images are the dominant type of image used on the “information super highway.” In spite of this, most image compression algorithms are designed for continuous-tone images. This paper presents a method of losslessly compressing these palettized images, which treats each color independently. This color-plane method provides substantial compression improvement over other known methods for most images
