Increasing efficiency of image compression based on the RLE method

In this article the problem of increasing efficiency of image compression is considered. As is known, digital image intended for transmission or storage is converted to a raster image. The RLE method based on run lengths coding is especially effective for raster images with large single-color areas. Based on RLE algorithm and arithmetic code a new algorithm for run lengths coding is proposed. This algorithm gives an increase of compression ratio of raster images compared to RLE.
