More About This Textbook

Overview

Written for researchers and developers applying Integrated Function Systems in the creation of fractal images, this book presents a modification of a widely used probabilistic algorithm for generating IFS-encoded images. The book also includes a discussion of how IFS techniques can be applied to produce animated motion pictures.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Fractals can be used for encoding a large class of digitized color images in computer graphics. The author takes the original encoding method a step further. He analyzes a modified version of the widely used probabilistic algorithm generating IFS-encoding images, explores the connections and disparities of continuous and discrete IFSs, and illustrates some surprising implications of his discretization method. He also discusses how IFS techniques can be applied to produce animated motion pictures. Contains eight color plates and many b&w illustrations. Annotation c.
