Fractal Image Compression Summary

Fractal Image Compression: Theory and Application by Yuval Fisher

One half of the book is authored by Yuval Fisher himself, while articles from another 12 experts in the field present material from different points of view. The focus here is solely on fractal image encoding, with the aim of providing a working code that is usable in applications, while containing the complete details of how to encode and decode images. An indispensable how to guide, combining the very latest results in the field. Of interest to a very wide audience, ranging from experts in image processing to high school students.

Fractal Image Compression Reviews

This book will be of great value to anyone interested in fractal image compression... It is certainly the best description of Fractal Image Compression to date, and should be the reference in this field for several years to come. J.H. Hubbard, Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University
