The Fractal Geometry of Nature; Its Mathematical Basis and Application to Computer Graphics

Defense Technical Information Center · 1986 · 19 pictures

A 1986 thesis from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, compiled through the Defense Technical Information Center, setting out the mathematical basis of fractal geometry for computer graphics work. The pictures are plain black-and-white technical diagrams with captioned figures: triangles subdivided by midpoints, a cloud-like closed curve, and a dense plane-filling curve, which suggest procedural shapes for terrain and natural forms.
