Abstract
A new algorithm for compression of two-level facsimile picture is prop osed. Two-dimensional run-length block coding with the code words of f ixed length are used, A half of the available code words is assigned t o the description of the original picture element pattern in runs, whi le the remaining half is used for compression purposes. The efficiency of the compression has been verified for 8 CCITT standard pictures re sulting in satisfactory compression ratios as compared to those known from the literature.
