A New Image Coding Technique Unifying Fractal and Transform Coding

We present a new image coding scheme based on an unification of fractal and transform coding. We introduce a generalization of the luminance transformation used by fractal coding schemes. By extending the luminance transformation to the frequency domain, fractal and transform coding become subsets of the proposed transformation. Our new coding scheme FTC (fractal based transform coding) combines the advantages of both techniques.
