J. M. Beaumont. Image data compression using fractal techniques. British Telecom Technol. Journal, 9(4):93-109, 1991.
The paper introduces fractals and explains how affine transforms can be used to generate fractal pictures. It goes on to discuss the properties of affine transforms in more detail and how they represent a compressed version of fractal pictures. A method of decomposing a general signal into affine transforms is outlined, and how this method has been extende and refined to compress visua image data.
