Spiral Fractal Image Compression
Abstract
In this paper, we study the affect of using the spiral architecture instead of the square block decomposition in fractal compression. Comparisons with other systems like the conventional square and the simplified fractal compression systems are presented. A comparison with standard JPEG system is also introduced. We apply these types of fractal compression on a video sequence. We have found that in the case of using the spiral architecture in fractal compression, the produced or decoded image or video has a better visual quality than that produced with the conventional square system and the previously presented simplified system. We found also that all types of fractal compression are better than the JPEG standard.
