The hierarchical ifs coding proposed by the authors is applied to monochrome images. The present method is a fusion of the hierarchical procedure and fractal coding based on the iterated function system (ifs) theory. By using a hierarchical structure based on the Gaussian pyramid, the image is divided into frequency subbands so that the information is compressed. By using the information between the bands, the coding can effectively capture the similarity between the range and the domain. Further, an application of this method to color images is discussed.

In recent years Image Fractal Compression techniques (ifs) have gained more interest because of their capability to achieve high compression ratios while maintaining very good quality of the reconstructed image. The main drawback of such techniques is the very high computing time needed to determine the compressed code. In this work, after a brief description of ifs theory, we introduce the coefficient quantization problem, presenting two algorithms for its solution: the first one is based on Simulated Annealing while the second refers to a fast iterative algorithm. We discuss ifs parallel implementation at different level of granularity and we show that Massively Parallel Processing on SIMD machines is the best way to use all the large granularity parallelism offered by the problem. The results we present are achieved implementing the proposed algorithms for ifs compression and coefficient quantization on the MPP APE100/Quadrics machine. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
