title: MR image compression using iterated function systems.
abstract: This paper presents a method for MR image compression using iterated function systems based on fractal models. The method makes use of self-similarities of an image and achieves compression by matching similar image blocks. A fast matching procedure is proposed in this paper for efficient image encoding. The method is tested with real MR images.
