An Efficient Three-Dimensional Fractal Video Coding Method Using Intercube Correlation Search

Abstract

An efficient 3-D fractal video coding method that exploits the correlation between range cubes is proposed. Four domain cubes mapped by the previous neighboring range cubes are considered as the good candidate cubes of the input range cube. Simulation results show that when the proposed method is implemented with a fast 3-D fractal coding algorithm, it can further reduce the encoding times and bit rate with insignificant loss of video quality.
