Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for compressing a video image file is disclosed. The image file includes line segments having a length of M pixels of N bits and a header of H bits. Each pixel is represented by t bits. The apparatus includes a circuit configured to read a first number of unencoded pixel values in a first line segment and read a second number of unencoded pixel values of a second line segment are read. The first and second line segments preceded by a header of H bits and each pixel value is represented by t bits. The differences between each of the first and second unencoded pixel values is determined. The differences between each of the first and second unencoded pixel values encoded only using a smallest number of bits t for a given number of bits for each pixel value in the segment, wherein t is defined as an integer between 1 and N.
