Fractal-Based Image Compression

Abstract

A short review of the theory of iterated function systems (IFS), a thorough explanation of their implementation, and an example using computer code useful in developing encoded images are presented. An example of an encoded map, with a brief discussion of data compression and error analysis, is presented. Details of an extension of IFS codes which allows for mixing of images, thereby resulting in a system with substantially increased power, are given. A simple scheme for automatic generation of IFS codes is given, followed by a discussion of improvements which may lead to a more generally useful data compression system. (RRH)
