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 copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
