Abstract: Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is a fast moment preserving lossy image compression technique. In this paper a new image compression scheme based on BTC is proposed. The proposed image compression scheme contains four techniques. They are prediction technique, bit plane omission technique, bit plane coding using 32 predefined visual patterns and interpolative technique. The experimental results show that the proposed image compression scheme achieves a low bit rate with reasonable good picture quality compared to the recent published work based on BTC. The proposed scheme also has low computational complexity.
