Considerations of Image Compression Scheme Hiding a Part of Coded Data into Own Image Coded Data

In this paper, it is considered the image compression scheme, in which a part of coded data extracted in the coding process is hidden into the other parts of coded data of own image, especially into the block address data of the best matching block within restricted blocks. The proposed scheme is able to be used in a fractal image coding in which the best matching domain block is searched, in a vector quantization in image coding in which the best matching vector is searched, and in motion compensation of moving picture in which the best matching motion vector is searched. We study each image coding method and consider the features of each coding method using the proposed scheme.
