Effective Representation of 2D and 3D Data Using Fractal Interpolation

Methods for representing curves in \mathbb{R}^2 and \mathbb{R}^3 using fractal interpolation techniques are presented. We show that such representations are both effective and convenient for irregular or complicated data. Experiments in various datasets, including geographical and medical data, verify the practical usefulness of these methods.
