Fractal image coding algorithm is a promising technique to improve the storage efficiency for satellite applications, and it can obtain good reconstructed quality with very high compression ratio in contrast with other image compression methods. In this paper, a fractal coding algorithm for satellite image compression is proposed. The framework of this algorithm is simple, so that it can be designed for hardware and applied on satellite conveniently. In addition, some improved methods are also introduced in this paper.
