Abstract
A method is disclosed for encoding and decoding integer values ranging over a known gamut of values used by a data system. By noting that a data system may store and/or transmit integer values over a predefined gamut having a minimum and a maximum limit, integer values at or near the maximum may be compressed to a greater degree than in conventional systems without any loss of data resolution.
