In this paper

we describe an image compression technique that incorporates Peano scan with a fractal-based coding scheme. 1/10 compression rate is achieved. The reconstructed image remains high picture quality and retains original geographic characteristics. We use NOAA image in Jiangsu coastal area as an example.This scheme can not only be used in remote sensing image processing

but also has wide application prospect in medicine science

arts

communication

and computer science.
