Fractal Video Compression

There are various ways of using fractal methods to compress video (several are disscussed in my book of collected articles). At this site you can load the following things:

A terse paper in postscript on one method. Beware: This paper is big (725,407 bytes), so you may want to get the version without figures (61,975 bytes).
You can get a fractally-compressed version of the "missa" sequence (the original is available from ipl.rpi.edu ) at two compression ratios:
- 244:1 at 31.4 dB (63,662 bytes).
- 120:1 at 32.0 dB (129,123 bytes).
To see these sequences, you will need a viewer. Only an SGI binary is currently available.
