For my final project I chose to study fractal image compression: a relatively new technique for compressing images based on local self-similarities within an image. My project includes a paper discussing the theory and several techniques, a Microsoft Windows programme that implements a quadtree encoder, and a gallery of before and after images that show typical results obtained from the quadtree heuristic.
The following items are available:
|
The paper in Microsoft Word format (50 KB) and in HTML format (for online viewing) |
|
The
Microsoft Windows programme MAT335prog
(1.63 Mb; requires Windows 95 or better) To install the programme, unzip the file mat335prog.zip into a new folder. Next, create a shortcut to the programme on your desktop or start menu. Double click the icon to start the programme. |
|
The gallery of before and after images |
While the programme comes with usage instructions (available from the Help menu), an online version of the usage instructions is also available here.
