DEVELOPED RLE ALGORITHM AND BITPLANE SLICING TO COMPRESS GRAYSCALE IMAGE
New suggested RLE compression algorithm to compress grayscale images with bitplane slicing tech-nique to reduce the size of the encoded data by separating image into 8 binary layers, then use our modified RLE algorithm to compress the bitplanes. Our modified algorithm designed perfectly to compress bitplane. The proposed method achieved very good compression ratio especially with the MSB layer.
