RLE de/encoding

A simple m-file which (de)compresses your data using RLE.

Description

A simple (de)compression program using Run Length Encoding.

Compression is done that easy:
compressedData = rle(originalData);

Decompression:
originalData = rle(compressedData);

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

Thanks!

good, thanks

[Janet Khuu]

A note that this function does not find the number of zeros in a run (if used for JPEG coding); otherwise, this is great.

[Gabriel Peyré]

Very nice compact code. One then just need to use an entropy coder to compress the runs length.

[Jeffrey Marten Gillmor]

Simple, yet very quick and effective, thanks

[Saeed Mozaffari]

simple and efficient

[Zhuo Hao]

It's short but efficient.

But when I'm decompressing the compressed image I'm getting back an one dimensional row vector. How can this prb be solved?

I used binary image for tedting.

Deserves more than 5 rating!!!
