Abstract
In this correspondence, we show that the number of iterations required for the convergence of the fractal image decoding algorithm can be reduced by selecting a suitable initial image. We consider fractal decoding to have two components, namely, "DC" and "AC". Our initial image is an approximation of the attractor of DC decoding, which is a good estimation of the "range-averaged" image, i.e., the image obtained by replacing all pixel intensities in a given block by the mean value of the block. From the simulation, it is demonstrated that the decoding speed is greatly improved.
