Fractal Image Compression.

Abstract

Efforts were concentrated in three areas, a survey of applications, algorithm development and theory. Specific applications have been selected for the compression algorithms. The selection process is based on information gained through technical discussions with commercial groups selling image compression hardware and software, literature reviews and performance figures on commercially available software. The industry standard (JPEG) for image compression is based on the discrete cosine transform. One evaluates the suitability of the fractal method in comparison with this transform. Several key differences are apparent.
