Examples in Context

  1. The run length encoding ( RLE ) compression algorithm requires very little processor time and works well for data that has lots of the same byte value repeated in consecutive locations.
  2. Image compression method of non-restricted run length encoding
  3. The image processing procedure such as color segmentation, run length encoding ( RLE ), connected components finding, and region merging are introduced.
  4. A salient new feature of the modified adaptive run length encoding algorithm is that it can transform the original bit-steam into binary encoding of the length of the original code.
  5. Is it possible to use compression schemes ( e.g., run length encoding ) that allow some operations ( e.g., selections ) to be applied without decompressing?
