Proposed pyramid fractal image compression

To evaluate the proposed pyramid fractal image compression, and comparing its result with traditional FIC, several tests were performed. A detailed investigation was carried out on the performance of the pyramid fractal image compression technique in order to view the performance of the last one in terms of encoding speed, compression ratio and reconstructed accuracy. We examine the performance of our new technique of fractal image compression based on pyramid partitioning domain step=2,s_quantize=5 and o_quantize=7 using standard (256x256) gray-scale image. In new proposed pyramid technique reduce the encoding time to factor 5.7.No need to use the symmetry  process in our new proposed pyramid technique, but we used in traditional technique to reach the best matching between range-domain block. The reconstructed image reaches the attractor at three iterations whereas the traditional technique need to eight iterations to reach the attractor.
