The Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences' (AARMS) Collaborative Research Group in Iterated Function Systems (IFS), Fractals, Invariant Measures and Applications presents the first event of its seminar series. Entitled "Fractals and images", the seminar will presented by Dr. Franklin Mendivil (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Acadia University) via skype.

Friday, October 21, 3:00 pm, Cass Science Hall 101
School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences

Abstract: Many people have seen the incredibly intricate images that can be generated using fractals. But can fractals be useful to generate “normal” images (like photos)? In this talk, we discuss fractals, digital images, image compression, and combine them all together in fractal image compression.

The IFS, Fractals, Invariant Measures, and Applications Collaborative Research Group is administered by UPEI's Shafiqul Islam, and includes members Franklin Mendivil and Tara Taylor (St. Francis Xavier University).
