IMAGE COMPRESSION BASED ON WAVELETS WITH FRACTRAL COMPRESSION CODE

This paper proposes to design a code and encoder that compresses a RGB image using fractal compression algorithm and Haar wavelet transform. This region-based fractal order utilizes the region edge map encoding scheme for resulting partition. In color quantisation a true color image is transformed into a color-mapped image consisting of K carefully selected representative colors. The goal of this quantization is to discard information, which is not visually significant.
