C.-S. Kim, R.-C. Kim, S.-U. Lee. Novel fractal image compression method with non-iterative decoder. In Proc. ICIP-95 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, Washington, D.C, 1995.
In this paper, we propose a novel fractal image compression technique, which does not require iteration at the decoder. The main problem relating to the conventional non-iterative algorithm is that the smooth region cannot be coded efficiently, since the size of the range block is limited to be less than 8 x 8. We alleviate this problem by generating two codebooks from planarly approximated image. In other words, the first codebook is generated by the smoothing operator for large and smooth range blocks and the second code-book is generated by the spatial contraction operator for small and active range blocks, respectively. The computer simulation re-sults on the real images demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides much better performance than most other fractal-based coders, in terms of the subjective quality as well as the objective quality (PSNR). Moreover, the proposed algorithm is very fast in decoding, since it does not require iteration at the decoder.
