چکیده

In this paper, we present a model, and experimental results, for performing fractal image compression using a circulating pipeline computation model. For this model, a toroidal linear array of processors is employed and utilized in a pipelined fashion. Image data decomposition is performed as to minimize memory requirements for a given processor in the pipeline and to obtain reasonable load balance throughout the pipeline. In addition to parallel decomposition, a simple image classification scheme is employed to reduce computational complexity. Quantitative results include an evaluation of attained compression ratios, signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) for reconstructed images, comparison with JPEG compression, and performance of the parallel system with respect to achieved execution times and efficiency. Experimental results, using an nCUBE-2 supercomputer, are presented.

Neural based domain and range pool partitioning using Fractal Coding for nearly lossless Medical Image Compression

This work results from a fractal image compression based on iterated transforms and machine learning modeling. In this work an improved quasi-losses fractal coding scheme is addressed to preserve the rich features of the medical image as the domain blocks and to generate the remaining part of the image from it based on fractal transformations. Machine learning based model is used for improving ...

A Review on Fractal Image Compression

Now a days most of the researchers are doing lots of work in the area of image compression. Fractal image compression requires lots of mathematical computation to compress an image. Fractal image compression is a recent technique based on the representation of an image by a contractive transform, on the space of images, for which the fixed point is close approximation to the original image. Mai...

Modeling and Simulation of a JBIG2 Compliant Color Printer Pipeline

We develop a computer aided design (CAD) tool for the simulation and testing of a color image printing pipeline. True color images typically have three color planes (red, green and blue) with eight bits of resolution per pixel per image plane. Printing these images involves a binarization process called halftoning which converts each color plane into a binary image for rendering on binary devic...
