Abstract :
Applying fractal coding to image segmentation was attempted as its new application. The encoding method is the same as the conventional fractal coding method, and the fractal-code is used for image segmentation. An image can be segmented by calculating basins on a dynamical system parametrized by the fractal-code. It is shown that the new method has the ability to segment regions that have fine pixel-patterns as masses
