Abstract
A high speed picture element generator for use in a digital facsimile receiver for reforming picture elements from decoded facsimile transmission signals. The picture element generator receives the decoded facsimile signals in the form of run length data of sequential color units in a line of picture. An input register of the picture element generator receives the run length data of a color unit, and an output register holds the picture element data. A decoder, coupled to the input register, generates the picture element data for the output register from the run length data. The decoder is also coupled to the output register so that the generated picture data fills portions of the output register unoccupied by the picture element data of previous color units.
