Fractal color image compression using vector distortion measure
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, fractal monochrome image compression technique proposed by Jacquin is investigated for 24-bit true color image by encoding the RGB components' images independently. To exploit the spectral redundancy in RGB components, the root mean square error distortion measure in grayscale space is extended to 3-dimensional color space for fractal-based color image coding. Experimental results show that 1.5 compression ratio improvement can be obtained using the vector distortion measure in fractal coding with fixed image partition as compared to separate fractal coding in RGB images. In addition, adaptive fractal color image coding based on quadtree partition is also proposed which can obtain a good trade-off between compression ratio and image fidelity.

Fractal Color Compression in the L*a*b* Uniform Color Space
We present comparative results obtained in the context of 24-bit true color image encoding by using searchless vs. search-based fractal compression techniques in a perceptually uniform color space. A pixel in the color space is represented as a vector with each component corresponding to a color channel. The least squares approximation of an image block by an Iterated Function System (IFS) is a...

This research paper on iteration free fractal image compression for color images using the techniques Vector Quantization, Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing is proposed, for lossy compression, to improve the decoded image quality, compression ratio and reduction in coding time. Fractal coding consists of the representation of image blocks through the contractive transformation coefficie...
متن کاملA Novel Color Image Compression Method Using Eigenimages
Since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–D realization. Although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. In this paper, first a method is prop...
متن کاملVq - Enhanced Fractal Image
A novel hybrid scheme combining fractal image compression with mean-removed shape-gain vector quantization is presented. The scheme uses a small set of VQ codebook blocks as a block classiier for the domain blocks and as an alternative means of coding when able to provide a satisfying distortion. Our scheme is shown to improve the performance of conventional fractal coding in all its aspects. T...
