Fractal image compression with the genetic algorithm
Goertzel, B., Miyamoto, H. & Awata, Y. |

| Abstract | |
| The IFS random iteration algorithm, introduced by Michael Barnsley (1988), is a simple and rapid method for generating fractal images. As reported by Mantica and Sloan (1989), when coupled with an appropriate optimization algorithm, it also provides a new approach to image compression. Here we will present the results of a few computational experiments coupling the IFS algorithm with the genetic algorithm. While limited in scope due to their implementation on an 80486-based IBM PC compatible machine, these results are a first step in the exploration of the possibility of doing fractal image compression with genetic algorithms. | |
