<title>Image matching based on fractal image coding</title>

Abstract

In this paper, we use the approach of fractal segmentation and improved fractal image coding, and match images by the decoded images which we use as the fractal features of original images, taking advantage of the stable features which the images of nature scenes have. Experiments show that much higher accuracy and probability of matching for images of nature scenes were obtained than using traditional methods such as mean absolute difference of graylevel or edge features.
