The IMG header contains the width, height and resolution of the image. Following the header is compressed data. The sample values of a binary image are compressed and then encoded into a sequence of bits. Compression is achieved by predicting a pixel value based on pixel values that have already been computed. For example, the predicted value of a pixel may be that of the corresponding pixel on the previous scan line. Up to fifteen different compression techniques are used, each designed to remove redundancy from a certain kind of image - text characters, line art, and halftones of various screen frequencies. The algorithm adapts to the properties of the image by selecting the technique that will perform the best.
