Fractal coding of video sequence using circular prediction mapping and noncontractive interframe mapping

We propose a novel algorithm for fractal video sequence coding, based on the circular prediction mapping and the noncontractive interframe mapping. The proposed algorithm can effectively exploit the temporal correlation in real image sequences, since each range block is approximated by the domain block in the adjacent frame, which is of the same size as the range block. The computer simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides very promising performance at low bit rate, ranging from 40-250 kbyte/s
