| 5532717 | Method of displaying time series data on finite resolution display device The method of the present invention minimizes the time required to display portion of a time sampled data file. A plurality of compressed data files are generated based on the time sampled data file. Each of the compressed data files is defined by a corre... | 07/02/1996 |
| 5442458 | Method and associated apparatus for encoding bitplanes for improved coding efficiency An encoding method is described for image bitplanes whereby an arithmetic coder using conditioning contexts based on pixels from both the current bitplane and previously decoded bitplanes is employed. For the same number of contexts (which is important fo... | 08/15/1995 |
| 5422734 | Method for arithmetically encoding half-tone image in image processing system An arithmetic coding method for encoding each pixel of image containing half-tones in an image processing system is provided. This method includes the steps of: initializing an encoder before encoding each line; reading a pixel of a dithered image signal;... | 06/06/1995 |
