Fractal video coding with the orthogonal transformation

Abstract

Fractal coding, which is coding with the self-similarity of the image as redundancy, has recently been studied extensively. In this paper, a method of fractal video coding is proposed in which the redundancy along the time axis is eliminated from a sequence of videos by the orthogonal transformation and then the results are rearranged according to the frequency components before fractal video coding. In comparison with the conventional fractal video coding, the average PSNR is improved with almost identical information content. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
