Yes, this is the wrong group.  Try comp.compression -- fractal image
compression is covered in the FAQ posting there.

Actually, they were fractals.  They are encoded in such a way that the
specific fractal image is close to the original image -- it is lossy
compression.

>does anyone of you know implementations/sources of this method ?

Again, check the FAQ in comp.compression -- its covered there.
