Unlike the JBIG standard, the JBIG2 standard, provides for lossy compression of bilevel images, thus providing significantly higher compression. Along with facsimile compression, the target applications of the JBIG2 standard include document storage and archiving, image compression on the Internet, wireless data transmission, and print spooling.

The datasets are compressed by the 3D-RLE pipeline shown in Figure 2 and the 2D-RLE which is the system designed as the same scheme of the proposed technique but without utilization of inter-slice correlations. Both 2D-RLE and 3D-RLE algorithms are extended by aforementioned scanning forms besides to commonly used zigzag and linear scanning forms. The 2D-RLE compression method is applied to the datasets for comparison with the proposed 3D-RLE method. It is also shown in study of Aldemir et al. [32] that extending of the scanning form in 2D-RLE achieves a significant compression ratio (CR) even if in the case of utilizing only intra-slice correlation. The results are also compared to well-defined lossless compression standards, which have bi-level lossless compression support, such as PNG, JPEG2000, JXR, and ZIP, CCITT-G4, LZW, JBIG and JBIG2 for a comprehensive verification.
