Abstract
A data re-ordering technique is proposed to enhance the compression perform ance of lossless LZW image compression over continuous-tone images. The pro posed scheme incurs few overheads and functions as a preprocessing stage pr ior to actual compression. The compression performance is increased by an a verage of 18% for continuous-tone test images compared with the popular GIF compressor.
