Abstract
Fractal image compression (FIC) is a relatively recent image compression method. Its basic idea is to represent images as a fixed point of a contractive Iterated Function System (IFS). Spiral Architecture (SA) is a novel hexagonal image structure on which images are displayed as a collection of hexagonal pixels. The efficiency and accuracy of image processing on SA have been demonstrated in many recently published papers. In this paper, two presentations of SA on the traditional display device will be discussed. Then we will review the current research work on fractal image compression based on SA using both presentations. The FIC performance on SA will be compared with it on the traditional square structure in terms of compression ratio and PSNR. In the experimental results, higher PSNR values can be achieved at various compression ratios for all test images. The preliminary research on this direction has shown a promising future of applying FIC on SA to further improve the compression performance.
