Abstract
An image processing method includes selecting an image in fixed storage of a computer and loading the selected image into memory of the computer. The method further includes representing the loaded image by a processor of the computer in the memory as an initial two-dimensional array of pixel values. Thereafter, the initial two-dimensional array of pixel values may be transformed into a hierarchy of progressively axially decremented two-dimensional arrays of signs and a pair of one-dimensional values for each 2×2 array of signs amongst the decremented two-dimensional arrays of signs. Finally, each of the two-dimensional arrays of signs and each pair of one-dimensional values may be stored in the fixed storage as a compressed form of the selected image.
