Abstract

A data compression and recovery apparatus compresses picture element data of a color image by expressing two primary color values of each picture element as a set of parameter values of a neural network in conjunction with reference color data values of a corresponding block of picture elements. Date recovery is achieved by inputting each block of reference color values to a neural network while establishing the corresponding set of parameter values in the network, to thereby obtain the original pair of encoded primary color values for each of successive picture elements. The third primary color can be used as the reference color.
