CCITT G3/G4 Image Compression SDK Libraries
Several of the more than 165 formats supported by LEADTOOLS libraries for .NET 6+, .NET Framework, .NET MAUI, Xamarin, UWP, C++ Class Library, C#, VB, C/C++, Java, Objective-C, Swift, and HTML / JavaScript developers use CCITT Group3 and Group4 industry standards to compress bitonal (1-bit) image data. Both the Group3 and Group4 standards encode the source image line by line. The difference between the two algorithms is in the way the two handle successive scan lines.
CCITT G3/G4 Image Compression Libraries
The LEADTOOLS libraries can load and save CCITT G3/G4 compressed image data in many formats including TIFF, PDF, and Intergraph. Further, LEADTOOLS libraries can keep 1-bit image data CCITT compressed in memory, which reduces the application's memory footprint.
Comparison of Bitonal Compressions
Differences Between CCITT G3 and G4 Compressions
In Group3-1D, each scan line is encoded independently, whereas in Group4, scan lines are encoded with reference to the previous line, resulting in improved compression ratios. In Group3-1D, a scan line is encoded as a set of runs. Each run represents a number of white or black pixels, with white runs alternating with black runs. Every run is encoded using a variable number of bits that can be uniquely identified upon decoding. This means that frequently occurring lengths of run may be encoded very efficiently, while infrequent ones cause the data to grow. For example, a white run of 2 or 3 pixels can be encoded using just 2 bits, while a run of 1000 pixels can be encoded in 25.
Group4 encoding is more complex when compared to Group3 encoding. Each scan line is compared with the previous one. Because of this, vertical features in the source image can be used to achieve better compression ratios.
There is also a Group3-2D algorithm. Group3-2D is a combination of Group3-1D and Group4 compression schemes.
