FRACTAL IMAGE DATA AND IMAGE GENERATOR

摘要

A fractal generation process, including: (i) randomly selecting images from a set of V>1 input images; (ii) selecting transformation functions from a set of transformation functions; (iii) generating transformed images by applying the selected transformation functions to the selected images; and (iv) generating an output image by combining the transformed images. Steps (i) to (iv) can be repeated to generate a set of V output images, and the entire sequence can be repeated using the set of V output images as a new set of V input images to generate a new set of output images. After a sufficient number of iterations, the new set of output images is substantially independent of the first set of input images used in the process. The resulting images represent V-variable fractals.
