Roundoff error due to iterative computation with finite wordlength degrades the quality of decoded images in fractal image coding that employs a deterministic iterated function system. This paper presents a state-space approach to round-off error analysis of fractal image coding for grey-scale images. The output noise variance matrix and the noise matrix are derived for the measures of error and the output noise variance is newly defined as the pixel mean of diagonal elements of the output noise matrix. A quantitative comparison of experimental roundoff error with analytical result is made for the output noise variance. The result shows that our analysis method is valid for the fractal image coding. Our analysis method is useful to design a real-time and low-cost decoding hardware with finite wordlength for fractal image coding.

An efficient fractal method based on discrete wavelet transfer is proposed in this paper. Before encoding, images with one-level wavelet transform are first partitioned into four subbands, which classify the range blocks as four types. An accelerated fractalcoding method called variance sorting (VS) scheme with high reconstructed quality is addressed for the low-frequency components. Hereafter, the low-frequency part rebuilt performs one-level wavelet decomposition once again. The first-level high-frequency subbands excluding the diagonal directions are predicted according to the next coarser frequency scale in the same directions. Simulation experimental results compared with other classification algorithms demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain high compression ratio and reduce the encoding time without significant loss in the reconstructed image quality.

A fast algorithm for fractal image coding based on a single kick-out condition and the zero contrast prediction is proposed in this paper. The single kick-out condition can avoid a large number of range-domain block matches when finding the best matched domain block. An efficient method for zero contrast prediction is also proposed, which can determine whether the contrast factor for a domain block is zero or not, and compute the corresponding difference between the range block and the transformed domain block efficiently and exactly. The proposed algorithm can achieve the same reconstructed image quality as the exhaustive search, and can greatly reduce the required computation or runtime. In addition, this algorithm does not need any pre-processing step or additional memory for its implementation, and can combine with other fast fractal algorithms to further improve the speed. Experimental results show that the runtime is reduced by about 50% of that of the exhaustive search method. When combined with the DCT Inner Product algorithm, the required runtime for the algorithm can be further reduced by about 50%. The proposed algorithm was also compared to two other fast fractal algorithms. Experimental results also show that our algorithm achieves a better efficiency and requires a much smaller amount of memory for implementation.

The vulnerabilities of the selective encryption scheme for fractal image coding proposed by Lian et al.(1) are identified. By comparing multiple cipher-images of the same plain-image encrypted with different keys, the positions of unencrypted parameters in each encoded block are located. This allows the adversary to recover the encrypted depth of the quadtree by observing the length of each matched domain block. With this depth information and the unencrypted parameters, the adversary is able to reconstruct an intelligent image. Experimental results show that some standard test images can be successfully decoded and recognized by replacing the encrypted contrast scaling factor and brightness offset with specific values. Some remedial approaches are suggested to enhance the security of the scheme.

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a method for fractal image coding in the subband domain. The subband decomposition scheme acts as a classifier, which can efficiently reduce encoding time. The proposed fractal image coding scheme is an adaptive one. The adapt ability is based on the variance of each subband. At each subband, the scheme adaptively sets the map block size that should be encoded. In addition, the domain blocks are adaptively restricted to the neighborhood of their respective range block. Simulation results show that good picture quality of the coded image is obtained at 0.370 bpp. It also indicates that such an adaptive scheme makes a better trade-off between the required bit rate and picture quality than a fixed size one. Moreover, the adaptive scheme can save a large amount of time.

A novel, fast fractal image coding algorithm based on the texture feature is proposed in this paper. fractal image coding is a very promising technique for image compression. However, it has not been widely used because of the long encoding time and high computational complexity. The most fractalimage encoding time is spent in determining the approximate D-block from a large D-blocks library by using the global searching method. Clustering the D-blocks library is an effective method to reduce the encoding time. First, all the D-blocks are clustered into several parts based on the new texture feature a derived from variation function;second, for each R-block, the approximate D-blocks are searched for in the same part. In the search process, we import control parameter d;this step avoids losing the most approximate D-block for each R-block. Finally, the R-blocks whose least errors are larger than the threshold given in advance are coded by the quad tree method. We have performed a simulation with MATLABR2010a to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be over 6 times faster than the moment-feature-based fractalimage algorithm;in addition, the proposed algorithm also improves the quality of the decoded image and increases the PSNR's average value by 2 dB. The comparisons demonstrate that this method is better than the fractal image coding algorithm based on statistical features. (c) 2012 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

This paper presents a fast fractal image coding method based on quadtree division, improved neighbor search and asymptotic strategy. We search the optimal matched domain block of a range block in its five nearest neighbor blocks and make asymptotic moves along the direction of potential optimal solution. If the optimal solution can not be improved, we carry out quadtree division for this range block until it caters to our demand or reaches greatest division level. The experimental results show that the coding speed of the proposed method declined slightly, but it has a better quality of reconstructed image and higher compression ratio in comparisons with no search method.

In this paper, we propose a new digital watermarking method based on fractal image coding using DWT and HVS. The method decomposes an original image into subbands LL1 and LL2 using DWT. In fractal image coding, LL1 and LL2 are used for the range blocks region and domain blocks region, respectively. This scheme can embed the watermark robustly against JPEG compression because it embeds the watermark sequence into the subband LL1 using fractal image coding. In addition, the quality of the watermarked image is good in spite of embedding into LL1, because we handle the fractal processing to only the candidate range blocks selected by an embedding judgment processing based on HVS. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only improves robustness against JPEG compression but also improves the quality of the watermarked image when compared with conventional techniques.

Long encoding time is the bottleneck in the developing of fractal image coding. Although some improved methods are proposed, the contradiction between encoding time and decoding quality is a still ubiquitous problem. To solve this problem, a novel fractal image coding method based on basis block dictionary is proposed. Multi-component dictionary, which is over-complete, is built under the generative framework by sparse coding. It optimizes the structure of domain pool in fractalcoding, and improves the speed of fractal encoding greatly. Finally, the experiments prove the effectiveness and practicality of proposed algorithm.
