Fractal image compression using hierarchical and region-based transformations

This thesis describes and investigates new methods for lossy image compression. The methods are based on the theory of Iterated Function Systems (IFS) which is a branch of deterministic fractal geometry. Iterated Function Systems have for some time promised to provide the basis for new image compres...
