Abstract
A two-phase fractal image sequence compression system is proposed. In the classification phase, according to the texture attribution a testing solid image block is assigned to its corresponding texture class. The texture attribution is derived from the tomographic block projection classification for the finite projection directions at the three-dimensional (3D) space. In the adaptive coding phase, both the algorithm of the 3D projection classification and the 3D variable shape decomposition are incorporated into the variable shape block transformation for image sequence. By applying this variable shape block transformation algorithm to fractal image sequence coding scheme, we can obtain a promising performance.
