The developed fractal image compression method, implemented for reconfigurable computing systems is described. The main idea parallel fractal image compression based on parallel execution pairwise comparison of domain and rank blocks. Achievement high performance occurs at the expense of simultaneously comparing maximum number of pairs. Implementation fractal image compression for reconfigurable computing systems has two critical resources, as number of input channels and FPGA Look-up Table (LUT). The main critical resource for fractal image compression is data channels, and implementation this task for reconfigurable computing systems requires parallel-pipeline computations organization replace parallel, preliminarily produced performance reduction parallel computational structure. The main critical resource for fractal image compression is data channels, and implementation this task for reconfigurable computing systems requires parallel-pipeline computations organization replace parallel computations organiation. For using parallel-pipeline computations organization, preliminarily have produce performance reduction parallel computational structure. Each operator has routed to computational structure sequentially (bit by bit) to save computational resources and reduces equipment downtime. Storing iterated functions system coefficients for image encoding has been introduced in data structure, which correlates between corresponding parameters the numbers of rank and domain blocks. Applying this approach for parallel-pipeline programs allows scaling computing structure to plurality programmable logic arrays (FPGAs). Task implementation on the reconfigurable computer system Tertius-2 containing eight FPGAs 15 000 times provides performed acceleration relatively with universal multi-core processor, and 18 – 25 times whit to existing solutions for FPGAs.

Fractal image compression is a lossy compression technique developed in the early 1990s. It makes use of the local self-similarity property existing in an image and finds a contractive mapping affine transformation (fractal transform) T, such that the fixed point of T is close to the given image in a suitable metric. It has generated much interest due to its promise of high compression ratios with good decompression quality. Image encoding based on fractal block-coding method relies on assumption that image redundancy can be efficiently exploited through block-self transformability. It has shown promise in producing high fidelity, resolution independent images. The low complexity of decoding process also suggested use in real time applications. The high encoding time, in combination with patents on technology have unfortunately discouraged results. In this paper, we have proposed efficient domain search technique using feature extraction for the encoding of fractal image which reduces encoding-decoding time and proposed technique improves quality of compressed image.
