With the concept of the packing problem,this paper presents a color image representation method based on the non-symmetry and anti-packing pattern representation model(NAM).By describing the NAM and the method of the binary-bit plane decomposition(BPD)for the color image,a novel NAM-based representation algorithm for the color image is proposed.Also,the total data amount of the algorithm is analyzed.The theoretical and experimental results presented in this paper show that the NAM-based representation method can reduce the data storage much more effectively than the hierarchical structural linear quadtree-based representation method and is a better method to represent the color image pattern.The method is a new research area with respect to the color pattern representation and is valuable for the theoretical research and potential practical values such as decreasing the storage room,increasing the transmission speed,quickening the process procedure,matching pattern,and so on.
