Abstract
Free form techniques and fractals are complementary tools for modeling respectively man-made objects and complex irregular shapes. Fractal techniques, having the advantage of describing self-similar objects, suffer from the drawback of a lack of control of the fractal figures. In contrast, free form techniques provide a high flexibility with smooth figures. Our work focuses on the definition of an IFS-based model designed to inherit the advantages of fractals and free form techniques (control by a set of control points, convex hull) in order to manipulate fractal figures in the way as classical free form shapes (BÉZIER, spline). The work is essentially based on the study of the functional equation Φ(τ * t) = T Φ (t), where Φ is a continuous function, τ and T are both contractive affine operators. We prove that there is a strong relationship between this functional equation and IFS attractors. This relationship will be used for the construction of parametric fractal attractors.
