4.0 out of 5 stars
Full coverage of fractal image compression, December 2, 2000
This review is from: Fractal Image Compression: Theory and Application (Hardcover)
In my opinion, Fisher's book can serve as a very good tutorial to fractal image encoding. The first chapter, probably better known as the "SIGGRAPH '92 Course Notes", can be understand easily even by non-scientist and be used to code your own basic compression engine. The other chapters go more into detail and show how to develop your coder to a #1 compression engine. Unfortunately, you sometimes need to read between the math to get the necessary information. Anyway, after reading the book, I was able to create some nice code and to compress color images up to 1:25 ... 1:100 in seconds or minutes without problems !

You get the impression this would have been better if written in Russian! The man has no idea how to write and be understood( Yuval Fisher) and his own work shows it. To drag others down with him is a form of greatness! Your unique Associates ID is: thefractaltransl
