Product Description

Review
"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

Product Description
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 useful reference for those working in image processing and encoding and as a great introduction for those unfamiliar with fractals. The book begins with an elementary introduction to the concept of fractal image compression and contains a rigorous description of all the relevant mathemtics of the subjects.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, heavy reading if your not a mathematician, 12 Oct 1999
By A Customer
A very good book on the subject. It contains quite a lot of mathematical definitions, some of which are not explained for a reader with little mathematical background. I found it heavy reading, but by the end of it I felt that I had mastered a very complex subject. Mr. Fischer has written a very comprehensive book here, that even contains source code! If you want a book that makes you use your brain, get this book.
