Abstract
Compression of the color images has many applications in most of the mobile technologies. Reducing the time taken for file transfer is important in digital communication fields. Image compression means reducing the graphics file size, without degrading the quality of the image. For digital images, Fractal image Compression (FIC) has been considered as an efficient method. FIC is a lossy compression method that explores the self similar property for natural image. In this paper, a combination of Discrete Cosine Transform and fractal with quadtree technique and Run Length Encoding is proposed to compress the image. Implementation result shows that the image is compressed effectively using the proposed work.
