Abstract
Many interesting features associated with iterated function systems and standard fractals seem to fade away as the fractal coding of images evolves. For example, the property of self- similarity at different resolutions, inherent to fractals, does not show up in a simple form in the image coding problem. In this chapter we will demonstrate a hierarchical model for the fractal encoding of images, and we will use it to show that the properties of self-similarity at different resolutions, and the related notion of fractal dimension, exist in fractal coding of images. Moreover, applications of these properties will be given.
