Fractal Imaging

Fractal image compression technology, one of the major digital image compression techniques, has been a well kept secret for many years. While there are many books written on other technologies, such as DCT/JPEG and wavelet theory, few books touch the sub...

 Scattering, Natural Surfaces and Fractals

An elegant and clear treatment of a rigorous topic with informative prose and realistic illustrations of scattering Provides readers with a solid background in interpretation, classification, and thematization of microwave images The only book availab...

 Fractal geometry Mathematical foundations and applications

Since its original publication in 1990, Kenneth Falconer's Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications has become a seminal text on the mathematics of fractals. It introduces the general mathematical theory and applications of fractals in ...

 Fractals in multimedia The IMA volumes in mathematics and its applications - Volume 132

This volume describes the status of fractal imaging research and looks to future directions. It will be useful to researchers in the areas of fractal image compression, analysis, and synthesis, iterated function systems, and fractals in education. In part...

 Soft Computing and Fractal Theory for Intelligent Manufacturing

The book describes the application of soft computing techniques and fractal theory to intelligent manufacturing. Hybrid intelligent systems, which integrate different soft computing techniques and fractal theory, are also presented. The text covers the ba...

 Fractals, Graphics and Mathematics Education

Fractal Geometry is a recent edition to the collection of mathematical tools for describing nature, and is the first to focus on roughness. Fractal geometry also appears in art, music and literature, most often without being consciously included by the ar...
