Fast Fractal Image Encoding Via One-bit Transforms
In this paper we present an algorithm for faster Fractal image coding than traditional algorithms. The algorithm involves a method of transforming the image from a multibit to a one-bit/pixel representation, applying MPEG like full search block based estimation on the new image and then refining the result with the use of statistical normalization and fast block-based motion estimation techniques for MPEG encoding. Simulation results suggest that the algorithm can significantly reduce the computation compared to traditional methods.
