Abstract
A method of compressing a collection of images using a variable compression function. In one aspect, the method comprises compressing the set using an initial function. The size of the resulting compressed image set is compared with a predetermined storage capacity. The function is altered based on the difference between the size of the resulting compressed image set and the predetermined storage capacity. The collection of images are compressed using the altered function.
