METODO E APPARATO DI CODIFICA E DECODIFICA DI UNA IMMAGINE DIGITALE

摘要

The invention relates to fixed or sequenced image processing and more particularly to a method and to the equipment for coding and decoding a digital image through vector quantization based upon fractal concepts. Through the invented method it is possible to reconstruct the original image without any iteration. This is feasible since the coding does not start from any image but from one known to the decoder and hence having a shorter distance from the original image than any other image. <IMAGE>
