Fractal image compression with optimized domain pool size

Fractal image compression is an inventive method with a large number of advantages. Fractal process utilizes the existence of self-similarity in images. In practical applications, widely used approach of fractal image compressing has very high computational and time requirement of compression phase due to large number of image level comparison between sub-sections of image. It leads to a very high compression time. This paper presents optimization of domain pool size by aimed to provide acceptable retrieved image quality with affordable encoding time.
