An ACO algorithm for image compression

This paper is an application of Ant Colony Metaheuristic (ACO) to the problem of image fractal compression using IFS. An ACO hybrid algorithm is proposed for image fractal compression and the results obtained are shown. According to the tests carried out, the proposed algorithm offers images with similar quality to that obtained with a deterministic method, in about 34% less time.
