Abstract

We present results of a scheme to encode video sequences of digital image data based on a quadtree still-image fractal method. The scheme encodes each frame using image pieces, or vectors, from its predecessor; hence it can be thought of as a VQ scheme in which the code book is derived from the previous image. We present results showing: near real-time (5 - 12 frames/sec) software-only decoding; resolution independence; high compression ratios (25 - 244:1); and low compression times (2.4 - 66 sec/frame) as compared with standard fixed image fractal schemes.
