A solution can be the use of hybrid techniques of compression as proposed in this study. This study deals with BDH technique, which is used to the compression of color images. In BDH technique, Huffman coding and Difference coding with Binary Plane Technique are combined. The BDH technique is compared with Binary Plane Technique (where no difference coding is used) and JPEG. Experimental results show that BDH improves compression rate compared to Binary Plane Technique. ER -
