Chain code lossless compression using move-to-front transform and adaptive run-length encoding

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel chain code compression method is presented.

• The method relies on move-to-front transform, which reduces information entropy.

• The entropy-reduced chain code is compressed with an adaptive run-length encoding.
