On Approximating Rough Curves with Fractal Functions
Abstract
Fractal functions are explored as a representation for rough data in computer
graphics. Two new techniques for using fractal interpolation functions to approximate
rough functions and curves are introduced. The first is based on a Hough
transform of fractal function transformation parameters. The second is based on
previous techniques in fractal image compression. These techniques are then
demonstrated on the task of recovering the parameters of a fractal function,
approximating a rough function and approximating the boundary of a leaf.
