Dynamic fractal transform with applications to image data compression

摘要

A recent trend in computer graphics and image processing is to use Iter- ated Function System (IFS) to generate and describe both man-made graphics and natural images. Jacquin was the first to propose a fully automatic gray scale image compression algorithm which is referred to as a typical static frac- tal transform based algorithm in this paper. By using this algorithm, an image can be condensely described as a fractal transform operator which is the com- bination of a set of fractal mappings.
