ocr: TIFFS.O. Appendices Appendix F: Data Compression- - Scheme 5-LZW Compression Abstract This document describes an adaptive compression schemc for raster images. Reference Terry A. Welch, "A Technique for High Performance Data Compression", IEEE Computer, vol. 17 no. 6 (June 1984). Describes the basic Lempel-Ziv & Welch (LZW) algorithm. The author's goal in the article is to describe a hardwarc-based compressor that could be built into a disk controller or database engine, and used on all types of data, There is no specific discussion of raster imagcs. We intend to give sufficient information in ...
