3D fractal compression for real-time video

A method of image sequence encoding is presented, based on fractal compression of 3D data blocks without searching. A simple fractal transform scheme is used that only depends on one real-valued coefficient. We have developed a software codec for the Windows95 operating system, that carries out video streams in real-time. The method can be further developed for application to videoconferencing, videotelephony or streaming video over the Internet.
