Wavelet-Based Fractal Transforms for Image Coding with No Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
The compression performance of fractal image coding is considered using the wavelet-based fractal coder with no search or classi cation of the domain blocks. A new partitioning scheme is introduced as a variant of earlier schemes which further improves the compression performance. The Wavelet-Based Fractal Transform (WBFT) links the theory of multiresolution analysis (MRA) with iterated function systems (IFS). This not only provides a local time-frequency analysis on (the partitions of) the image using multiresolution representation but also an iterative construction of the same (partitions of the) image using IFS and xed point theory. A set of experiments and simulations show the potentials of using the WBFT for image coding after uniform quantization and entropy coding of the coe cients of the transform. Possibilities for further improvements are discussed.

Comparison of Wavelet Transforms and Fractal Coding in Texture-Based Image Retrieval
Image compression techniques based on wavelet and fractal coding have been recognized signiicantly useful in image texture classiication and discrimination. In fractal coding approach, each image is represented by a set of self-transformations through which an approximation of the original image can be reconstructed. These transformations of images can be utilized to distinguish images. The fra...
متن کاملWavelet and Fractal Transforms for Image Compression
The main idea behind all fractal coding algorithms is to exploit the similarities present within many natural images: one block of an image is represented by an affine transform of another larger block taken from the image itself [1, 2, 3]. The characteristic property of fractal coders is to exploit similarities between different scales. Wavelet transforms perform multiresolution decompositions...
متن کاملAdaptive Fractal and Wavelet Image Denoising
The need for image enhancement and restoration is encountered in many practical applications. For instance, distortion due to additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) can be caused by poor quality image acquisition, images observed in a noisy environment or noise inherent in communication channels. In this thesis, image denoising is investigated. After reviewing standard image denoising methods as ...
متن کاملLossy Image Compression Using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Thresholding Techniques
Results of lossy image compression using wavelet transforms and several thresholding techniques are presented here. The analyzed image was divided into little sub-images and each one was decomposed in a vector following a Hilbert fractal curve. The wavelet transform was applied to each vector and some of the high frequency components were suppressed based on some threshold criteria. Different l...

Abstract A simple exhaustive search technique is explored as a means to design low-complexity reversible integer-to-integer wavelet transforms for image coding applications. Several new transforms found with this approach are employed in an image coder in order to demonstrate their effectiveness.
