It discusses the most popular fractal models applied in the field of image synthesis. Coverage also presents iterated function system models, including recent developments in IFS representation, and explores algorithms for creating and manipulating fractal objects as well as techniques for implementing the algorithms. In addition, the book includes an extension of the classical IFS model to n-D case and integration of fractal and vector models. The use of practical examples helps demonstrate the implementation and application of IFS models.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book contains pseudo-code samples for the convenience of graphics application programmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSlawomir S Nikiel is an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Zielona Gora in Poland. He received his MSC in computer and information science in 1991 and his Ph.D in computer vision in 1995 from the technical University of Wroclaw, Poland. In 1997-1998 he received a one year post-doc NATO fellowship in Hull, UK. His current research interests include fractals, rendering and animating complex structures for real-time computer graphics and virtual environments. His research area is related to Digital Cultural Heritage. Dr Nikiel is an author of over 30 papers in these fields.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 October 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781849966429\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e152\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804808941708,"sku":"9781849966429","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781849966429.jpg?v=1781783001","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781849966429","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
