Image coding using overlapping fractal transform in the wavelet domain
نویسنده
چکیده
Fractal and frequency decompositions lead to comparable image compression results. However, these two approaches are not incompatible and it is possible to express the operations performed by some fractal coders in the frequency domain. The aim of this paper is to propose an image representation technique combining both fractal and frequential decompositions thanks to the use of the wavelet multiresolution representation. This model takes into account a certain kind of self-similarity that can be translated in terms of simple operations on the high frequency coefficients of a subband decomposition of the image. The way to solve analytically the inverse problem is also described in this context.

Combining wavelet and fractal coding for 3-D video coding
Smooth regions and edges are very self similar and can be coded efficiently by fractal coders. One problem of fractal image coding is to achieve a high quality or a lossless representation of an image. This can be overcome by a hybrid coding approach as proposed by the authors in [3]. An extension to 3-D fractal video coding is described in [4]. Due to the block based algorithm, however, blocki...
متن کاملUse of Wavelets in Fractal Compression Algorithm for Enhanced Performance
Fractal coding suffered from low coding efficiency, difficulties to obtain high quality encoding of images, and blocking artifacts at low bit rates and exhaustive inherent coding time. Blocking artifacts can be avoided if fractal coding is performed in the wavelet domain. A new fast and efficient image coder is developed that applies the speed of the wavelet transform to the image quality of th...
متن کاملZerotree Wavelet Coding Using Fractal Prediction
Fractal image coding can be seen as spectral prediction of coefficients in the wavelet decomposition of an image. Fine scale coefficients are described by shifted and scaled coefficients from the next coarser frequency scale. We analyzed the ability of fractal coders to predict wavelet coefficients and found that the prediction of entire wavelet subtrees-as done by conventional spatial domain f...
متن کاملComparison 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...
