Abstract
This paper describes a scheme to encode an image using another reference image in such a way that an end user can retrieve the encoded image only with the reference image. Such encoding schemes could have a potential application in secure image sharing. The proposed scheme is simple and similar to fractal encoding; and a key feature is it simultaneously performs compression and encryption. The encoding process is further speeded up using PatchMatch. The performance in terms of encoding time and PSNR is examined for the different encoding methods.
