프랙탈 영상 부호화의 새로운 응용 분야인 프랙탈 영역 분할법의 YST방법은 주기점에 의한 라벨 붙이기와 프랙탈 변환에 의한 라벨 수정을 병용한 영역 분할법을 제안하였다. 그러나 이 개선법은 영역 분할의 질적인 개선은 가능하였으나, 여전히 라벨 붙이기와 라벨 수정의 과정에서 중복성이 남아 있다. 이 문제점의 해결방안으로 본 논문에서는 궤도에 따른 라벨 붙이기와 프랙탈 변환의 반복 과정에 관한 제약 조건을 제안한다.

This pater presents a new fractal coding scheme to find more optimal transformation using the reference images which I determined by some criteria. After finding the transformations to minimize the distance between the original image and the reference images. we choose one of them which has the best performance. Conventional fractal coding schemes based on the collage theorem obtain the transformation to minimize the distance between an original image and its collage image because of heavy computation. In other words, it is because the optimal transformation and be obtained after the attractors of all the possible transformations are generated and then compared with an original image. As such a procedure is practically difficult to implement. the collage coding schemes using the theorem have widely used, We introduce the new scheme to overcome the complexity problem for the optimal transformation and be obtained, our scheme is evaluated. as compared with the optimal one, In general cases that the optimal one is unavailable. our scheme is also evaluated, as compared with the conventional schemes.

Image coding based on fractal theory presents highly compressed image. In this paper, we discuss about compression of Image using HV partition method. HV partition scheme devides the image adaptively in horizontal and vertical axis. And for reducing the enconding time for the domain-range comparison, we use classification scheme, which uses the order of brightness of the rectangular portion of the image. This paper focused on the technique to reduce coding time which is a problem in traditional fractal compression by adaptive selection of image and its classification method.

A new three dimensional fractal coding is proposed with a perceptually enhanced matching. Since most of medical images (e.g. computed tomoyaphy or magnetic resonance images) have three dimensional characters, searching regions are extended to adjacent slices. For a perceptually enhanced matching, a high frequency boost filter is used for pre-filtering images to be encoded, and a least mean square error matching is applied to the edge enhanced Images rather than the original images. From simulation with magnetic resonance images($255\times255$, 8bits/pixel), reconstructed images by the proposed compression algorithm show much improved subjective image quality with higher peak signnal-to-noise ratio compared to those by existing fractal coding algorithms at compression ratios of about 10.

프랙탈을 기반으로 한 칼라 영상 부호화는 영상을 RGB, YIQ 나 $YC_bC_r$, 과 같은 기본적인 채널로 분리한 후, 각각의 채널을 독립적으로 프랙탈 이진 영상 부호화 기법에 적용함으로써 쉽게 부호화할 수 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 각각의 채널에 대해 부호화를 반복해야 하기 때문에 부호화 시간이 길어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 프랙탈 이론을 바탕으로 압축률의 향상과 부호화 시간의 단축을 동시에 이룰 수 있는 칼라 정지영상의 부호화를 위한 프랙탈 기반 부호기를 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 칼라영상에 적용하여 실험한 결과, 복원 영상의 PSNR 값이 평균적으로 $28{\sim}29[dB]$ 정도에서, 압축률이 JPEG에서 사용하는 무손실 부호화 과정을 거치지 않고도 약 28 : 1 이상으로 향상되었으며, 부호화 시간은 약 11.5 % 정도 단축할 수 있었다.

Real time fractal coding for successive QCIF 144*176 luminance images has been implemented on a 50MHz IBM 486 personal computer. To satisfy the frame encoding speed and data compression ratio, following algorithms are adopted. In order to minimize encoding time, extension SAS being not searching of domain blocks is used. for reducing the bits per pixel, conventioal 4*4 range block is extended to 8*8 range block. and range block extension decrease quality of decoded image. For improvement quality of decoded image, the paper apply quad-tree partition mothod. In order to divide **8 range block, self-simiarity is compared 8*8 range block with spatial contractive transformed 8*8 domain block. According to self-simiarity, the block is partitioned and owing to block partition, increased encoding time is minimized. According to self-simiarity of 8*8 range block and spatial contractive transformed 8*8 domain block, number of fractal factor is varied. Simultaneously with minimizing the decrement of decoded image's quality, transmittion rate and encoding time is shorted. The results enable us to process the real-time fractal coding. For the claire test image, the average PSNR was 32.4dB, 0.12 bit rates and 33ms coding time per frame.

본 논문에서는 Barnsley가 제안한 반복 함수 체계(IFS)에 근거한 새로운 영상 압축 기술인 프랙탈 영상 부호화의 성능 개선 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 완전 탐색을 이용한 프랙탈 부호화 방법은 영상의 복원 화질이 다른 프랙탈 기법에 비해 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있지만 탐색시간이 지나치게 오래 걸리고, 선형 유사 변환을 통하여 블록의 근사화를 수행하므로 복잡한 블록의 근사화가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 쿼드 트리 분할을 사용하여 코딩 블록의 크기를 가변적으로 설정하도록 하여 복잡한 블록은 크기가 작은 블록으로 단순한 블록은 큰 블록으로 분할되도록 하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 블록의 근사화 정도도 높이고 변환의 수도 줄여 압축률의 개선을 가져왔다. 또한, 탐색 영역을 제한하여 부호화 시간이 짧으면서도 기존의 완전 탐색(full searching) 방법에 비하여 탐색 시간을 줄였으며 복원 영상의 주관적 평가의 화질은 더 우수했다. 그리고 매칭 블록의 탐색이 필요 없는 Monro 방법에 비해 부호화 시간이 다소 느리기는 하지만 화질 면에서 월등한 성능을 보였다.

This paper presents a new fractal coding scheme to find more optimal transformation by estimation of the optimal attractor. The conventional fractal coding schemes based on the collage theorem obtain the transformation to minimize the distance between an original image and its collage image. Heavy computation is why the schemes widely adopt the theorem. In other words, the optimal transformation can be obtained after the attractors of all the possible transformations are generated and then compared with an original image. It is clear that this process is not practical. Therefore, we introduce a sub-optimal scheme that provides better transformation than the conventional scheme, relieving the complexity problem in the optimal transformation. In a simple case, the optimal transformation can be obtained considering all the attractors and then our scheme is compared with the optimal. In general cases not to be able to find the optimal, our scheme is also evaluated and compared with the conventional schemes.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for fractal coding of image sequence, based on the CPM (Circular Prediction Mapping) and the NCIM (Non Contractive Interframe Mapping). In the CPM and the NCIM, each range block is approximated by a domain block in the adjacent frame, which is of the same size as the range block. Also, in this paepr, we propose a coding scheme of color components and an algorithm for controlling the bit rate, resepectively, for practical implementation of the fractal coder. The computer simulation results on real image sequences demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides very promising performance at low bit-rate, below 256 Kbps.

In this paper, a block based image approximation technique using the Self Affine System(SAS) from the fractal theory is suggested. Each block of an image is divided into 4 tiles and 4 affine mapping coefficients are found for each tile. To find the affine mapping cefficients that minimize the error between the affine transformed image block and the reconstructed image block, the matrix euation is solved by setting each partial differential coefficients to aero. And to ensure the convergence of coding block. 4 uniformly partitioned affine transformation is applied. Variable block size technique is employed in order to applynatural image reconstruction property of fractal image coding. Large blocks are used for encoding smooth backgrounds to yield high compression efficiency and texture and edge blocks are divided into smaller blocks to preserve the block detail. Affine mapping coefficinets are found for each block having 16$\times$16, 8$\times$8 or 4$\times$4 size. Each block is classified as shade, texture or edge. Average gray level is transmitted for shade bolcks, and coefficients are found for texture and edge blocks. Coefficients are quantized and only 16 bytes per block are transmitted. Using the proposed algorithm, the computational load increases linearly in proportion to image size. PSNR of 31.58dB is obtained as the result using 512$\times$512, 8 bits per pixel Lena image.
