Patent ID: 7016541

Claim:
An image processing method for facilitating data transmission, comprising: capturing an image signal from an object with an image capture device; providing said image signal to an analog-to-digital converter for converting said image signal to X-bits binary digital signals, wherein X is a natural number; transmitting said X-bits binary digital signals to image processing means for compressing said X-bits binary digital signals to a binary compressed data in the form of n*2 m , wherein X bits includes bit (X−1) to bit 0 , m is a non-negative integer; when n is represented by the former Y bits of said X-bits binary digital signals, Y is a natural number, m is set to (X−Y), and then m is represented by binary numbers with [log 2 (X−Y+1)] bits, such that said X-bits binary digital signals are converted to said binary compressed data represented by (m, n) with a sequence of [log 2 (X−Y+1)]+Y bits, wherein m is the former [log 2 (X−Y+1)] bits and n is the latter Y bits; and storing said binary compressed data represented by (m, n) with the sequence of [log 2 (X−Y+1)]+Y bits in memory means.
