There is great interest in having office systems that adopt the image coding to enable high resolution and high quality document management. Network-based office systems require two classes of procedures. The first requires a new “ internal coding” scheme for integrated image processing and editing operations. The second corresponds to image data interchange between system components through the network and can be implemented using conventional image coding scheme such as JPEG. This paper deals with a new image coding scheme which is designed for internal coding facility based on the adaptive block truncation coding. This scheme can perform block by block fixed rate coding and editing within an encoded form. The simulation results show the feasibility of the proposed scheme at compression ratios of 4 to 8.
