Overview
Images can enhance the meaning of almost anything.One problem that arises with the most meaningful images is the "cost" of either storing or communicating them electronically. If this is a problem for you, then fractal imaging can be a very useful technique, in which case Ning Lu's Fractal Imaging is an invaluable tool.
Audience: Students and practitioners of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering, especially image processing engineers. Universities offering courses in image compression.

Presents a book/CD-ROM package on fractal imaging using affine transformations, focusing on applications in digital image compression. Overviews current compression technologies, and tells how to generate fractal objects, model real world images, and store and transmit data and information in the compressed fractal form. Assumes a working knowledge of college-level mathematics and computer science, and some experience in digital signal and image processing. There is a chapter on mathematical background. The companion CD-ROM contains Windows software that produces Fractal Image Format (FIF) files for use in Web pages. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
