A new coding method for sequential images called fractal-like coding is presented in this paper. The approach that expresses the self-similarity of an image in fractal coding is used to the description of the inter-similarity between two neighbored images of an image sequence. The new method

compared to the traditional fractal coding

dose not need to satisfy those specific conditions for the later

nor iteration during decoding. Therefor

the coding speed and quality are both increased to an extent. Experimental results on some standard sequential images indicate that the presented method achieves high compression ratio at a reasonable coding quality for sequential images.
