Fractal based Image compression algorithm (and source code)

Question

I am looking for a decent fractal based compression algorithm for images. So far I only find dead links to the FIF image format and dead links pointing to Iterated Systems Inc which then became MediaBin which then became nothing from what I can see.

The source files in ANSI C (enc.c and dec.c) for PIFS (i.e. partition iterated function system) are available on the website of Fractal Image Compression: Theory and Application to Digital Images book.

I think you should take a look at the Fiasco library. You can find an old article about it on Linux Journal.

The "nanocrunch.cpp" source code, implementing, yet another variant on fractal image compression, was developed by "Boojum", and is the top answer to another Stack Overflow question: Twitter image encoding challenge .
