Abstract :
The redundancy in digital image coding can be classified into two categories: local and global. The algorithm proposed in this paper is based on these two characteristics. In this image compression scheme, the image is segmented into variable size blocks coded by three different coding schemes depending on the characteristics exhibited by the pixels within the block
