Description
This book is a collection of articles on fractal image compression. Yuval Fisher has authored half of the book himself, and has collected and edited articles from 12 experts in the field to present material from different points of view. This book will focus solely on fractal image encoding. It will give a working code that is usable in applications, and will contain the complete details of how to encode and decode images. This book should be interesting to a very large audience ranging from experts in image processing to high school students. It will contain "how to" sections and the very latest results in the field.

Content
From the contents: Recent theoretical results on fast encoding and decoding methods, various schemes for encoding images using fractal methods, and theoretical models for the encoding/decoding process.- Working C code for a fractal encoding/decoding scheme capable of encoding images in a few seconds, decoding at arbitrary resolution, and achieving high compression rations.- Experimental results from various schemes showing their capability and forming the basis for a sophisticated implementation.- A list of previously unresearched projects containing both new ideas and inhancements to the schemes discussed in the book.- A comparison of the fractal schemes in the book with JPEG, commercial fractal software, and wavelet methods.
