Abstract
Methods and compression units for compressing a block of image data, the block of image data comprising a plurality of image element values, the image element values being divisible into at least a first value and a second value such that the block of image data comprises a two-dimensional block of first values, the method comprising: compressing a first data set comprising all or a portion of the two-dimensional block of first values in accordance with a first fixed-length compression algorithm to generate a first compressed block by: identifying common base information for the first data set; and identifying a fixed-length parameter for each first value in the first data set, the fixed-length parameter being zero, one or more than one bits in length; and forming a compressed block for the block of image data based on the first compressed block.
