Abstract :
Wavelets and fractals can be used as analysis tools in many areas of sciences and engineering. Some of the application areas, established or potential, are common for both wavelets and fractals. Application areas analyzed include modeling and seismic studies, construction and reconstruction of images, graphics, and storage and transmission of information. It is concluded that application similarities really exist between wavelets and fractals
