Encode: Converts repeated characters into a count and character format (e.g., "AAAABBBCCDAA" → "A4B2C2D1A2"). Decode: Reverts compressed strings back to their original form (e.g., "A4B2C2D1A2" → ...

This repository contains a Run Length Encoding (RLE) image encoder implemented in C. It takes a BMP image as input and encodes it using RLE compression, producing a compressed output file.

Abstract: Run period Encoding (RLE) is a powerful and efficient approach for fact compression and supply coding. It is generally applied to the lossless compression of grayscale or bi-tonal (black-and ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present efficient algorithms for interconversion between Lempel-Ziv 78 (LZ78) encoding and run length encoding (RLE). We show how, given an RLE of size n for a string S, we ...
