I created this last semester for a class on simulations (which also had a heavy emphasis on fractals). A Mandelbrot fractal is generated and then analyzed for the most “interesting” area to zoom in on.

The following animated gif shows the algorithm in action. The left side is the generated Mandelbrot fractal and the right side is a visualization of the activity detection algorithm. The algorithm is choosing how to zoom into the fractal in real-time (when the image was recorded).

I’ve also posted the Matlab code if you are interested in seeing how it works.
