With the advent of multimedia computer, the voice and images could be stored in database. How to retrieve the information user want is a heard question. To query the large numbers of digital images which human desired is not a simple task. The studies of traditional image database retrieval use color, shape, and content to analyze a digital image, and create the index file. But they cannot promise that use the similar index files will find the similar images, and the similar images can get the similar index files.
In this thesis, we propose a new method to analyze a digital image by fractal code. Fractal coding is an effective method to compress digital image. In fractal code, the image is partitioned into a set of non-overlapping range blocks, and a set of overlapping domain blocks is chosen from the same image. For all range blocks, we need to find one domain block and one iteration function such that the mapping from the domain block is similar to the range block. Two similar images have similar iterated functions, and two similar iterated functions have similar attractors. In these two reasons, we use the iteration function to create index file. We have proved fractal code can be a good index file in chapter 3.
In chapter 4, we implement the fractal-based image database. In this system, we used fractal code to create index file, and used Fisher discriminate function, color, complexity, and illumination to decide the output order.
