Data compression algorithms are widely used by data communication systems and data storage systems to reduce the amount of data transferred and stored. This paper introduces a modified Rice algorithm for data compression using the mathematical curve fitting models. A comparison between data compression using ordinary rice algorithm and data compression using the proposed rice algorithm is also presented. The design can be implemented as state machines in Verilog, in such a way that they are suitable for implementation using FPGA.
