You won't find it well documented anywhere, since these fellows are
trying to make big bucks off of it, and there are conflicts between
that and pure academic goals ...

Nevertheless, the best reference I've seen so far is:
Jacquin, A. E., "A Novel Fractal Block-Coding Technique for Digital
Images", IEEE ICASSP 1990, pp. 2225-2228 (vol. 4).
