Abstract

See full text

Reducing the amount of data required to describe a greyscale image is achieved by determining the modal greyscale and giving all pixels within a tolerance level of, for example, .+-.2 greyscale levels of the modal greyscale, a logic value of 0. This leads to significant data reduction since proportionally very many pixels are effected. The contrast extremes of the image are unaffected however so that the image remains reasonably comprehensible.
