* Multimedia hardware still cannot accommodate the demand for large amounts of visual data. Without the generation of high-quality video bitstreams, limited hardware capabilities will continue to stifle the advancement of multimedia technologies. Thorough grounding in coding is needed so that applications such as MPEG-4 and JPEG 2000 may come to fruition.
* Image and Video Compression for Multimedia Engineering provides a solid, comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and algorithms that lead to the creation of new methods for generating high quality video bit streams. The authors present a number of relevant advances along with international standards. *

Introduction.- Image Models for Fractals.- Fractal Models for Image Synthesis : a Survey.- Iterated Function Systems ﾐ the Model.- Inverse Problem ﾐ the Collage Theorem.- IFS Rendering Algorithms.- nD Iterated Function Systems and their Applications.- Conclusions, Directions for Future Development.- References.- Appendix A: Acknowledgements.- Appendix B: Abbreviations.- Appendix C: Index.- Appendix D: Figure Plates. *
* Natural phenomena can be visually described with fractal-geometry methods, where iterative procedures rather than equations are used to model objects. With the development of better modelling algorithms, the efficiency of rendering, the realism of computer-generated scenes and the interactivity of visual stimuli are reaching astonishing levels. Iterated Function Systems for Real-Time Image Synthesis gives an explanation of iterated function systems and how to use them in generation of complex objects. Contents include: ･Discussion of the most popular fractal models applied in the field of image synthesis. ･Presentation of iterated function system models, including recent developments in IFS representation. ･Exploration of algorithms for creating and manipulating fractal objects, and techniques for implementing the algorithms. ･Use of practical examples to demonstrate the implementation and application of IFS models. The book contains both a description text and pseudo-code samples for the convenience of graphics application programmers. Slawomir Nikiel is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Control and Computation Engineering, University of Zielona G羊a. He started working with fractal geometry in 1995. His current research interests include fractal image synthesis for real-time computer graphics and virtual environments. The information in the book comes from the results of his recent research. *
