Fraotal coding is a very promising technique for image compression. However, it has not been widely used because of its high computational complexity, In this paper, techniques for reducing computational complexity of fractal coding are presented. Fractal coding is very effective for images containing sharp edges and smooth textures of large objects but not for small objects and fine details. In this paper, methods to improve overall image quality are presented. Also in this paper, approaches for applying fractal coding to very low bit-rate video as well as VLSI implementations for real-time applications are discussed.
