In this paper, we present some techniques which improves the coding performance of the fractal block coding presented first by A. E. Jacquin: (1) employing the spatial image partitioning of parent and child range blocks based on a cost function, (2) introducing three-stage spatial partitioning into the cost-based image partitioning, and (3) merging the foregoing fractal block coding with DCT coding. Furthermore, we extend the fractal block coding to moving image compression using two different costbased temporal partitioning algorithms. One algorithm is based on cost comparison among temporal partitioning patterns within a GOP, and another algorithm is based on three-stage bi-tree partitioning.
