Abstract
An algorithm to compress and decompress grey level images is described, in which we combined a classical method like D.P.C.M. with an entropy code based on a new statistical approach. The reconstructed image quality is improved by subsequent image postprocessing. The method is low-time consuming and very simple in order to implement it on P.C. machine.
