A Novel Image Retrieval Method Based on Fractal Code and Fuzzy Set

In this paper, we adopt the advantage of fractal code and classify blocks partitioned from images into four different categories and propose an improved fractal image code as image index label. The method speeds up the course of fractal image encoding without demolishing the perfection of reconstructed image. In applying for image retrieval, with the help of fuzzy classifier, the time consumed for image matching can be reduced obviously. Simulated experiment shows that our proposed method can gain desirable results in image retrieval meantime costing less time.
