An asymmetric lossless image compression technique

While there exist many asymmetric techniques for the lossy compression of image data, most techniques reported for lossless compression of image data have been symmetric. In this paper we present a new lossless compression technique that is well suited for asymmetric applications. It gives superior performance compared to other lossless compression techniques reported in the literature. Hence, it can also potentially be adapted for use in symmetric applications that require high compression ratios.
