Fractal Image Compression : Theory and Application /
This book presents the theory and application of new methods of image compression based on self-transformations of an image. These methods lead to a representation of an image as a fractal, an object with detail at all scales. Very practical and completely up-to-date, this book will serve as a usefu...

Table of Contents:
- From the contents: Recent theoretical results on fast encoding and decoding methods, various schemes for encoding images using fractal methods, and theoretical models for the encoding/decoding process
- Working C code for a fractal encoding/decoding scheme capable of encoding images in a few seconds, decoding at arbitrary resolution, and achieving high compression rations
- Experimental results from various schemes showing their capability and forming the basis for a sophisticated implementation
- A list of previously unresearched projects containing both new ideas and inhancements to the schemes discussed in the book
- A comparison of the fractal schemes in the book with JPEG, commercial fractal software, and wavelet methods.
