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. | ||

Full coverage of fractal image compression In my opinion, Fisher's book can serve as a very good tutorial to fractal image encoding. The first chapter, probably better known as the "SIGGRAPH '92 Course Notes", can be understand easily even by non-scientist and be used to code your own basic compression engine. The other chapters go more into detail and show how to develop your coder to a #1 compression engine. Unfortunately, you sometimes need to read between the math to get the necessary information. Anyway, after reading the book, I was able to create some nice code and to compress color images up to 1:25 ... 1:100 in seconds or minutes without problems ! | ||
Better than much other stuff Borrowed this book from from my instructor and saw that it was much better than any standard image processing coursebook to learn some ideas from... | ||
Buy Barnsley's book! You get the impression this would have been better if written in Russian! The man has no idea how to write and be understood( Yuval Fisher) and his own work shows it. To drag others down with him is a form of greatness! Your unique Associates ID is: thefractaltransl | ||
