Abstract: In this paper, fractal compression methods are reviewed. Three new methods are developed and their results are compared with the results obtained using four previously published fractal compression methods. Furthermore, we have compared the results of these methods with the standard JPEG method. For comparison, we have used an extensive set of image quality measures. According to these tests, fractal methods do not yield significantly better compression results when compared with conventional methods. This is especially the case when high coding accuracy (small compression ratio) is desired.
