ABSTRACT

The chapter is organized as follows. Section 7.2, describes the basic properties of fractals and the basic principle of fractal-based image compression. Section 7.3 describes concepts of contractive affine transforms, iterated function systems, and the fractal image generation process. Section 7.4 discusses how to find IFS directly from images. Section 7.5 describes how to compress images based on a library of known IFS.
