In the Distributed Maritime Training system, the real-time transmission of large-scale 3D scene is one of the main problems. In recent years, fractal image compression techniques have gained more interests because of their capability to achieve high compressive ratios while maintaining very good quality of the reconstructed image. Since fractal image compression is computationally very expensive, some researchers tried to parallelize the encoding algorithm. Spiral Architecture is a relatively new and powerful approach to general-purpose machine vision system. On this novel architecture, Spiral Addition and Multiplication achieve image processing. In this paper, a novel implement based on Spiral Architecture will be presented, keeping the compressive ratio of fractal image compression at maximal to fast the speed of image transmission in the Distributed Maritime Training System.
