title: Extending the BACIC algorithm for robust transmission over a noisy channel.
abstract: This study introduces error control to the block arithmetic coding for image compression (BACIC): a new method for lossless bilevel image compression. BACIC can successfully transmit bilevel images when channel bit error rates are as high as 10(-3) while providing compression ratios twice that of G3, the only facsimile standard which incorporates error control into its algorithm.
