Abstract: Fractals provide an innovative method for generating 3D images of real-world objects by using computational modeling algorithms based on the imperatives of self-similarity, scale invariance and dimensionality. Images such as coastlines, terrains, clouds, mountains and most interestingly random shapes composed of curves, sets of curves, etc., present a multi-varied spectrum of fractals usage in domains ranging from multi-colored, multi-patterned fractal landscapes of natural geographic entities, image compression to even modeling of molecular ecosystems. Fractal geometry provides a basis for modeling the infinite detail found in nature. Many different types of fractals have come into limelight since their origin.
