A STUDY OF DECODING OF FRACTAL IMAGE COMPRESSION A PROPOSITION OF APPLICATION OF : CHAOS GAME ALGORITHM AND PARALLELIZATION

Abstract

In the recently information-oriented society, the information of images becomes more important. The information of images has a large amount of information. In the point of the memory size and the communication speed, we need an efficient image-encoding method. Now, the JPEG algorithm is mainstream of image-encoding method. Fractal Image Compression (FIC) that uses a locally self-similarity in the image has been developed as substitution for the JPEG algorithm. In this paper, we suggest the parallelization of decoding process of FIC using the Chaos Game Algorithm.
