Retrieving Faces by the PIFS Fractal Code
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of fractals in computer graphics and vision in modeling unstructured images, and compressing images, is well known. However, the use of fractals for indexing images in content based retrieval of video and static images has not received as much attention. In this paper, we provide the theoretical arguments to justify their use in image retrieval. Our web-enabled implementation on the FERET database shows encouraging results.

A Multi - Resolution Framework for FractalImage
The starting point of this paper is the basic fractal coder suggested by Jacquin. The coder nds and encodes the parameters of a partitioned iterated function system (PIFS), which approximates the signal as a xed-point of a contractive transformation. The work presented here can be divided into two parts. The rst part begins with a presentation of the hierarchical structure of the PIFS code. Thi...
متن کاملWeb Enabled Based Face Recognition Using Partitioned Iterated Function System
Many conventional methods of face recognition depend solely on appearance and model based. However there is inbuilt degree of self-similarity in the image of faces, which can be efficiently utilized through representation exploiting self-transformations, known as Iterated Function System (IFS). Interestingly, virtually all images of natural or man-made objects, show region wise self similarity ...
متن کاملMathematical framework to show the existence of attractor of partitioned iterative function systems
The technique of image compression using Iterative Function System (IFS) is known as fractal image compression. An extension of IFS theory is Partitioned or local Iterative Function System (PIFS) for coding the gray level images. Several techniques of PIFS based image compression have already been proposed by many researchers. The theory of PIFS appears to be different from the theory of IFS in...

متن کاملRandomized Algorithm for Scaling Factors in Fractal Image Compression
Modern fractal compression methods are based on iterative function systems (IFS), which was developed by Barnsley [1] and Jacquin [2]. During compression, the algorithm partitions the image into a set of square blocks (domain blocks). After this a new partition is made into smaller range blocks [2]. The domain blocks are generally double the size of range blocks. For every range block the neare...
