Fractal objects like Sierpinski triangle and Fern have very high visual complexity and low storage-information content. For generating computer graphic images and compression of such objects, Iterated Function Systems (IFS) {[3] , [1]} are recently being used. The main problem in fractal encoding using IFS is large amount of time taken for the compression of the fractal object. Our endeavor in the present paper is to use an stochastic algorithm to improve upon the compression time as well as compression ratio obtained in [1], while maintaining the image quality. Our results show that we are able to reduce time taken for compression of Image by 55% -80% and the size by 60% -80% as compared to the non-stochastic algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
