Abstract
A digital video image is compressed by determining for a group of adjacent pixels the global error values that result from the available combinations of truncation and integration of data strings associated with the group of pixels. A combination of truncation and integration that produces a minimum global error value is identified and used to control compression of the individual strings of data associated with the group of pixels.
