S. Giordano, M. Pagano, F. Russo, D. Sparano. A novel multiscale fractal image coding algorithm based on SIMD parallel hardware. In Proceedings of the International Picture Coding Symposium PCS'96, Melbourne, March 1996.
Progressive coding techniques are becoming more important as they enable quick browsing of large image databases. Fractal image compression is not intrinsically suitable for hierarchical schemes, but the proposed algorithm yields interesting results thanks to a set of new features. The main novelties are the introduction of a residual coding approach, the use of a quadtree decomposition in a layered structure and the application of non affine maps. The computational burden is even greater in the proposed solution than what is typical of fractal coding: so an implementation on parallel architecture represents ist natural solution.
