چکیده

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.

S-truncated Functions and Rough Sets in Approximation and Classification of Bottleneck Curves

Some collections of two-dimensional points form very irregular shapes, which cannot be approximated by standard curves without making large errors. We approximate the sets of points to introduce formal mathematical expressions giving rise for future predictions for other points, which are not placed in data sets. To accomplish the thorough approximation of finite point sets we test parametric s...

Fractal Function Estimation via Wavelet Shrinkage

In scientiic studies objects are often very rough. Mathematically these rough objects are modeled by fractal functions, and fractal dimension is usually used to measure their roughness. The present paper investigates fractal function estimation by wavelet shrinkage. It is shown that wavelet shrinkage can estimate fractal functions with their fractal dimensions virtually preserved.

Developing fractal curves

Many fractal curves can be produced as the limit of a sequence of polygonal curves, where the curves are generated via an iterative process, for example an L-system. One can visualise such a sequences of curves as an animation that steps through the sequence. A small part of the curve at one step of the iteration is close to a corresponding part of the curve at the previous step, and so it is n...

Tangents to fractal curves and surfaces⋆

The aim of our work is to specify and develop a geometric modeler, based on the formalism of iterated function systems with the following objectives: access to a new universe of original, various, aesthetic shapes, modeling of conventional shapes (smooth surfaces, solids) and unconventional shapes (rough surfaces, porous solids) by defining and controlling the relief (surface state) and lacunar...
