Relative encoding is another data compression algorithm. While run-length encoding, bitmap encoding and diagram and pattern substitution were trying to reduce repeating data, with relative encoding the goal is a bit different. Indeed run-length encoding was searching for long runs of repeating elements, while pattern substitution and bitmap encoding were trying to “map” where the repetitions happen to occur.
