New Methods for Image Generation and Compression

We survey new methods in “Computational Fractal Geometry.” We start with M. Barnsley's pioneering Iterative Function Systems and our extension of this method, in particular Mutually Recursive Function Systems. Further we discuss (Probabilistic) Finite Generators, L-systems and other methods as used for image generations.
