چکیده

This research is the rst application of fractal compression to volumetric data. The various components of the fractal image compression method extend simply and directly to the volumetric case. However, the additional dimension increases the already high time complexity of the fractal technique, requiring the application of sophisticated volumetric block classi cation and search schemes to operate at a feasible rate. Numerous experiments over the many parameters of fractal volume compression show it to perform competitively against other volume compression methods, surpassing vector quantization and approaching the discrete cosine transform.

Principal Component Classi cation for Fractal Volume Compression

Fractal volume compression is an extension of fractal image compression to volumetric data. The technique partitions the volume into range blocks which are replaced in the output dataset by transformations that map larger portions of the volume into blocks that resemble the original range partitions. Principal component analysis provides a classi cation system which directs the search for these...

Image Compression and Edge Extraction U sing Fractal Technique and Genetic Algorithm

A large volume of image data is usually stored in the digital library system in a compressed form. Attempts are now being made to perform image processing tasks using the compressed form of images, which can be accessed directly from digital library. The present chapter is focused on two algorithms. In the first algorithm a fractal based image compression technique using genetic algorithms has ...

Parameter identification and algorithmic construction of fractal interpolation functions: Applications in digital imaging and visualization

This dissertation examines the theory and applications of fractal interpolation. Its main contribution is the parameter identification, algorithmic construction and applications of fractal interpolation. We focus on the self-affine and piecewise self-affine fractal interpolation functions that are based on the theory of iterated function systems. Specifically, we present two novel methods for p...

Application of spectrum-volume fractal modeling for detection of mineralized zones

The main goal of this research work was to detect the different Cu mineralized zones in the Sungun porphyry deposit in NW Iran using the Spectrum-Volume (S-V) fractal modeling based on the sub-surface data for this deposit. This operation was carried out on an estimated Cu block model based on a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) using the C++ and MATLAB programing. The S-V log-log plot was gene...

Microarchitecture Parameters Describe Bone Structure and Its Strength Better Than BMD

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Some papers have shown that bone mineral density (BMD) may not be accurate in predicting fracture risk. Recently microarchitecture parameters have been reported to give information on bone characteristics. The aim of this study was to find out if the values of volume, fractal dimension, and bone mineral density are correlated with bone strength. METHODS Forty-two h...
