行程编码（Run-Length Encoding）

仅存储一个像素值以及具有相同颜色的像素数目的图象数据编码方式称为行程编码，或称游程编码，常用RLE（Run-Length Encoding）表示。该压缩编码技术相当直观和经济，运算也相当简单，因此解压缩速度很快。RLE压缩编码尤其适用于计算机生成的图形图像，对减少存储容量很有效果。

-Run-length encoding (RLE) is a very simple form of data compression in which runs of data (that is, sequences in which the same data value occurs in many consecutive data elements) are stored as a single data value and count, rather than as the original run. This is most useful on data that contains many such runs: for example, simple graphic images such as icons, line drawings, and animations. It is not useful with files that don t have many runs as it could greatly increase the file size.
