The growth of the Internet and advances in the technology of digital cameras, scanners and printers has led to the widespread use of Digital Imagery. In the search for increased storage capabilities and faster transmission speeds, two relatively new areas of mathematics related to Image Compression - Fractals and Wavelets - were developed, giving a boost to the interest in image compression for internet and other multimedia applications.
This book focuses on the mathematical aspects of fractals and wavelet image compression. The level of mathematical presentation is accessible to under-graduates, engineering and science students. Prior knowledge of image compression, fractal geometry and wavelet concepts is not essential to benefit from the text.
Besides students studying advanced topics in image processing, the text is also useful for scientists, engineers and researchers in this field. It provides both an introduction to fractal and wavelet techniques and implementation details. The companion software for this book is available at http://www.spie.org/bookstore/tt40/ so that readers can explore the new technologies in depth. Complete C/C++ source code is provided, enabling readers to go beyond the boundaries of the accompanying software. ISBN 8120328272
