I've heard about a fractal image compression algorithm. It has been
developped by two US mathematicians and has similar compression ratios
as JPEG.

I think this sounds like a quite interessting topic and I'd appreciate
if anyone would post a small description of the idea behind this method.

Thank you

Markus
