An image processing method for facilitating data transmission is provided. An
image compression method is performed to convert X-bits binary digital signals
to a binary compressed data in the form of n*2m, in which n is represented
by the former Y bits of the X-bits binary digital signals, m is set to the value
of (X-Y), and represented by binary numbers with [log2(X-Y+1)] bits.
The binary compressed data is transmitted with a sequence of [log2(X-Y+1)]+Y
bits, representing (m, n), wherein m is the former [log2(X-Y+1)] bits
and n is the latter Y bits. Therefore, by the present image compression method,
the transmission amount of image data is reduced. The transmission time of image
data and the volume of a memory for storing the image data are also reduced.
