Fractal Image Compression Using Quadtree Partitioning

This paper describes the design and implementation of a software-based fractal image compression technique using quadtree partitioning, where the student produces user-friendly Windows 9xNT software that allows the compression and decompression of the grey-scale image. This involves the human-computer interface to realise the relatively large number of searches for affine patterns that results in an algorithmic representation of the image.
