英文摘要：

It is aimed at proposing a new color image compression algorithm to process color image information, reducing the redundancy of color image information and making it convenient for images transmission and storage. To accomplish this goal, it applies BP neural network to color image compression. After obtaining the image matrices using RGB coding method, the algorithm achieves image com- pression coding by use of mode-transformation ability of multilayer feedforward, neural networks, which is one property of BP { Back Propagation ） neural network. And through Matlab simulation experiment, the results show that the algorithm is effective in color images compression. Moreover, a comparison with compressing the color image of grey coding method based on the same algorithm, shows that proposed algorithm has higher compression efficiency and fidelity effect, also can retain the color information of the original image in a large degree which meets the demands of processing color images.
