Abstract
Forest of quadtrees (FQT) is a variant of quadtrees (QT) that is used to represent a binary image of size 2 n × 2 n with better space efficiency compared to the latter. The space requirement of FQT depends on the type of regions contained in the image. In some cases, the FQT structure is as costly as QT structure in terms of storage. In this article we compute the probability of FQT structure reducing to QT structure with the assumption that each pixel in the binary image has equal probability to be black or white. It is observed that, in the case of binary images of practical sizes, the FQT structure reduces to QT structure in most of the cases.
