Recently, Fractal Image Coding has been studied as a way of efficient data compressing scheme. In the beginning, Fractal Image Coding has been studied for the data compressing in black ＆ white images and linear images. A. E. Jacquin suggested LIFS which expends to Fractal Image Coding for a gray scale image. Currently, YTKT's LIFS scheme which is using Gram-Schmidt is so efficient that enough to compete with the JPEG which is the national standards. This paper investigates the way of greatly reduced calculation for the orthogonalization algorithm.

For digital image compression, various fractal image coding schemes using the self-similarity of image have been studied extensively. This paper discusses the problem that occurs during the calculating process of adaptive orthogonal transformation and provides improvements of LIFS coding scheme using the transformation. This proposed scheme has a better performance than JPEG for a wide range of compression ratio. This research also proposes an image composition method consisting of all domains of the transformation. The results show that the arithmetic operation processes of the encoder and the decoder become much smaller even without the distortion of the coding performance.
