A general approach to the fractal coding of images is presented, in which image blocks are represented by least squares approximations by fractal functions. Previously known fractal transforms are subsets of this method, which is called the Bath fractal transform (BFT). By searching the image, a hybrid of known methods is achieved, and they are evaluated in the polynomial case with a standard test image.
