In this paper the technique of Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied for Fractal Image Compression (FIC). With the help of this evolutionary algorithm effort is made to reduce the search complexity of matching between range block and domain block. One of the image compression techniques in the spatial domain is Fractal Image Compression but the main drawback of FIC is that it involves more computat...

BACKGROUND The reporting of the medicinal plants and their traditional uses is important in order to prevent this knowledge from being lost. The aims of this study were to collect information concerning the traditional use of medicinal plants in the region of Tafila; identify the most important medicinal plants; determine the relative importance of the species surveyed; and calculate the inform...

Compression of the color images and videos has many applications in most of the mobile technologies. Reducing the time taken for file transfer is important in digital communication fields. Image compression means reducing the graphics file size, without degrading the quality of the image. For digital images, Fractal image Compression (FIC) and run length coding has been considered as an efficie...

With the help of this evolutionary algorithm effort is made to reduce the search complexity of matching between range block and domain block. One of the image compression techniques in the spatial domain is Fractal Image Compression but the main drawback of FIC is that it involves mo...

At low bitrate and with acceptable quality in Fractal Image Compression (FIC) of the coded image, the encoding time is very large for most existing algorithms. In this paper, a fast fractal encoding system is proposed using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to reduce the encoding time. Here, an optimization technique is used for the MSE based on the stopping criterion between range block and do...

In this paper, an adaptive channel estimation scheme based on the reduced-rank (RR) Wiener filtering (WF) technique is proposed for multi-band (MB) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems in multipath fading channels. This RR-WF-based algorithm employs an adaptive fuzzy-inference-controlled (FIC) filter rank. Additionally, a comparative inves...

The main computational cost in Fractal Image Analysis (FIC) comes from the required range-domain full block comparisons. In this work we propose a new algorithm for this comparison, in which actual full block comparison is preceded by a very fast hash–like search of those domains close to a given range block, resulting in a performance linear with respect to the number of pixels. Once the algor...
