Run-length encoding
Run-length encoding (RLE) is a form of lossless data compression in which runs of data (sequences in which the same data value occurs in many consecutive data elements) are stored as a single data value and count, rather than as the original run. This is most efficient on data that contains many such runs, for example, simple graphic images such as icons, line drawings, Conway's Game of Life, and animations. For files that do not have many runs, RLE could increase the file size.
Run-length encoding - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Form of lossless data compression Not to be confused with Run-length limited . Run-length encoding ( RLE ) is a form of lossless data compression in which runs of data (consecutive occurrences of the same data value) are stored as a single occurrence of that data value and a count of its consecutive occurrences, rather than as the original run. For example, a sequence of "green green green green green" in an image built up from colored dots could be shortened to "green x 5". Run-length encoding is most effici
