Abstract
A coding system for processing color images outputs coded data associated with a unit block with a particular one of the coded data which belongs to a predetermined level plane heading the others, while omitting those coded data which do not include valid data. Codewords adapted to code level plane information are utilized as level plane identification signals. Color information is identified. A color mode ZERO bit and a color mode ONE bit representative of the identified color information are inserted immediately before data in a line-by-line code format, whereby color image signals are transmitted.
