Abstract

In this paper, we provide an algorithm for the construction of IFSM approximations to a target set [Formula: see text], where X ⊂ R D and µ = m (D) (Lebesgue measure). The algorithm minimizes the squared "collage distance" [Formula: see text]. We work with an infinite set of fixed affine IFS maps w i : X → X satisfying a certain density and nonoverlapping condition. As such, only an optimization over the grey level maps ϕ i : R + → R + is required. If affine maps are assumed, i.e. ϕ i = α i t + β i , then the algorithm becomes a quadratic programming (QP) problem in the α i and β i . We can also define a "local IFSM" (LIFSM) which considers the actions of contractive maps w i on subsets of X to produce smaller subsets. Again, affine ϕ i maps are used, resulting in a QP problem. Some approximations of functions on [0,1] and images in [0, 1] 2 are presented.
