چکیده

This paper presents a method for lossy coding of still pictures using the theory of iterated function systems (IFS) which is a standard description for deterministic fractals. The coding concept is based on a blockwise fractal approximation of the original image by contraction mappings of itself using affine transformations which are a special case of IFSs. Data reduction is achieved by exploiting the self-similarity within natural or artificial pictures. The proposed algorithm accounts for the local image characteristics by an adaptive quadtree segmentation. In contrast to existing fractal coding concepts an overall constant reconstruction quality is achieved.

Visual Data Compression for Multimedia Applications

In this paper, the compression of visual information in the framework of multimedia applications is discussed. To this end, major approaches to compress still as well as moving pictures are reviewed. The most important objective in any compression algorithm is that of compression efficiency. High-compression coding of still pictures can be split into three categories: waveform, second-generatio...

Very Low Bit Rate Coding of Visual Information | a Review |

In this paper the compression of visual information at very low data rates is discussed. High compression coding of still pictures can be split into three categories: waveform, second generation and fractal coding techniques. Each coding approach introduces a di erent artifact at the target bit rates. The objective of the ongoing research is to mask these artifacts as much as possible to the hu...

Adaptive Segmentation with Optimal Window Length Scheme using Fractal Dimension and Wavelet Transform

In many signal processing applications, such as EEG analysis, the non-stationary signal is often required to be segmented into small epochs. This is accomplished by drawing the boundaries of signal at time instances where its statistical characteristics, such as amplitude and/or frequency, change. In the proposed method, the original signal is initially decomposed into signals with different fr...
