In fractal image compression a partitioning of the image into ranges is required. In our previous work [1] we have proposed to find good partitionings by means of a split-andmerg...
Abstract. Vector quantization (VQ) is an elementary technique for image compression. However, the complexity of searching the nearest codeword in a codebook is time-consuming. In t...
An efficient algorithm for inter-frame coding in the H.264/AVC standard is extended to provide more significant speedup in computational performance for sequences containing high ...
The technique of image compression using Iterative Function System (IFS) is known as fractal image compression. An extension of IFS theory is called as Partitioned or local Iterati...
In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
