Color Image compression has become an important technology to decrease memory space and to reduce transmission time. The present study provides comparative values between RGB and YCbCr color spaces with respect to PSNR, execution time and compression ratio. Fractal coding is a valuable method which utilizes for compression of color image. This method is most suitable for irregular shape of images. Long encoding times still remain as main disadvantage of this compression technique. A hybrid fractal coding technique based on YCbCr scheme and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) with quadtree and isosceles triangle segmentation is proposed in the present study. The study needs six phases, first, conversion of input RGB image to YCbCr scheme; second, the resulting image (YCbCr) is partitioned separately based on quadtree approach and isosceles triangle segmentation approach; third, DCT is applied to every block of the partition, fourth, scanning of every block value and zigzag manner is applied to prevent zero co-efficient; fifth, both quad tree and isosceles triangle segmentation approaches are applied separately for having partitioned resulting image; sixth, to compress the image, Run Length Encoding (RLE) approach is utilized. Test results demonstrate that proposed strategy gives higher compression ratio, PSNR value with high processing speed without degrading the image quality.
