4.3.6 Effect of MR coding scheme
The table shows the size of compressed data by the MR coding scheme and
the MH coding scheme.
In the document example in Fig. 5-23, the compression ratio becomes
about 71% as shown in the following formula by the MR coding scheme
compared with the MH coding scheme.
Data size by MR coding / Data size by MH coding = 278/390 = 0.7128 ...
Approx. 71%
In actual coding of the document, the compression ratio becomes between
about 70% to 90% depending on the pattern of the document and the
verti-
cal scanning
line density.

MMR Coding Scheme
MMR stands for Modified Modified READ, and somewhat resembles the
MR coding scheme. By MMR, coding starts from a white line, and there
are no restrictions in parameter K. In other words, the initial line is taken to
the be the reference line, and only differences from the previous line are
coded by MR right until the end of the page. For this reason, as a condition
for use of MMR, MMR is limited to instances where error-free communi-
cations can be assured. So, with G3 facsimiles, MMR is used only in com-
binations with the ECM (Error Correction Mode) of
ITU-T
described later.
