the Maple Leaf Fractal Christina Vo EPS 109 Fall 2013
Background & Methods • Example of a iterated function system (IFS) , a method developed by Michael Barnsley • Self-similar • Generated with repeated linear transformations of a point on a plane called affine transformations using the formula where a-f are “IFS code” coefficients with an assigned probability factor p • Starts with initial point (x1 = 0, y1 = 0) written as a vector and then new points are iteratively computed by randomly applying one of the following four affine transformations
