Starting from the original definitions of Iterated Function Systems (IFS) and Iterated Function Systems with Probabilities (IFSP) we introduce the notions of Iterated Multifunction Systems (IMS) and Iterated Multifunction Systems with Probabilities (IMSP). We consider the IMS and IMSP as...

In this paper, we first consider the problem of defining IFS operators on the space Kc of non-empty compact and convex subsets of Rd. After defining a complete metric on Kc, we construct an IFS operator and show some properties. A notable feature is the definition of a type of weak inner product...

Fractal image coding generally seeks to express an image as a union of spatially contracted and greyscale modified copies of subsets of itself. Generally,images are represented as functions u(x) and the fractal coding method is conducted in the framework of L^2 or L^1. Here we formulate a method...

We construct a complete metric space (Y,dY) of measure-valued images, μ:X→M(Rg), where X is the base or pixel space and M(Rg) is the set of probability measures supported on the greyscale range Rg. Such a formalism is well-suited to nonlocal image processing, i.e., the manipulation of the...
