T. Ida et Y. Sambonsugi, IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING FRACTAL CODING, IEEE transactions on circuits and systems for video technology, 5(6), 1995, pp. 567-570
Applying fractal coding to image segmentation was attempted as its new
application. The encoding method is the same as the conventional frac
tal coding method, and the fractal-code is used for image segmentation
. An image can be segmented by calculating basins on a dynamical syste
m parametrized by the fractal-code, It is shown that the new method ha
s the ability to segment regions that have fine pixel-patterns as mass
es.
