  • Abstract
    A code is presented that consists of codewords of variable length. This allows a good adaptation to the different run-length statistics of various kinds of documents: printed matter, drawings, weather maps etc. Compared with other run-length codes, the new code yields, in most cases, a better compression ratio.
