Efficient Fractal Image Coding Using Adaptive Domain Pool Reduction Technique

Fractal image coding was the scope of heavy research during the last decade. It has proved its efficiency as an image coding technique. However, its asymmetric nature has limited its use especially for real time applications. In this paper, a new fast fractal image coding technique will be presented. The proposed technique enhances the encoding time using spatial local activities of the image trying to overcome the major drawback of fractal image coding.
