Fractal Image Compression Technique Using Fixed Level of Scaling

Fractal compression is a technique for encoding images compactly. It is built on local self similarities within the images. Image blocks are seen as rescaled and intensity transformed approximate the copies of blocks found elsewhere in the image. In this paper the Fractal image compression technique using fixed level of scaling is proposed in which the time of encoding process is considerably reduced. This work explains the predefined fixed level of scaling instead of scanning the parameter(S) Space [0,1].This novel point is used to point the reasonable estimation of S and use them in a encoding process as predefined values. The algorithm is implemented in Matlab for a standard set of images. Keywords— Domain and Range block, Fractal, Image compression, Iterative Function System (IFS)
