The other day someone mentioned using affine transformations to obtain image compression. I made a statement about a book dealing with the theory. I mis-attributed the author so here is the correct information: "Fractals Everywhere", Michael Barnsley, Academic Press 1988. ISBN 0-12-079062-9 "Fractal Geometry, Mathematical Foundations and Applications", Kenneth Falconer, John Wiley and Sons, 1990 ISBN 0-471-92287-0 These two books are for individual who have a reasonable math background. (reasonable, means probably undergraduate degree or a significant amount of work in a minor). These authors also have papers written and so a article/author search should turn up something were the use of Iterated Function Systems(Barnsley) in regard to image compression. I know I've seen something specificly dealing with the topic but I haven't located the copys I made of the articles. -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu
