Fractal Imaging [With CD]

There are a lot of details about fractal imaging, including IFS, RIFS, techniques. What is more, it provides many very good examples of worked images, figures, tables. All these make the book easier to read. I like it!

It is an amazing book that presents fractal theory and compression algorithms in such a poetic manner. I was glad finally there is a book that covers fractal image compression in such a complete and systematic way from Iterated Systems. The book also displayed the linkage between science, philosophy and art by using fractal image compression as an example, which is awesome. Most C-codes are very efficiently writen as for the performance, so I wish there were more explanations for better understanding. It is a book quite difficult to read for it is unique in its style as well as many subjects. Again, more details will be helpful. Overall, I am very much enjoyed the reading, found as the author said: you will find "something new every time you open it." P.S. It's nice to have the free product Fractal Imager too!
