Abstract.

Fractal image compression is a promising new technology but is not without problems. Most critically, fast encoding is required for it to find wide use in multimedia applications. This is now within reach: recent methods are five orders of magnitude faster than early attempts. Beginning with the basic ideas and problems, this paper explains how to accelerate fractal image compression.
