1. An image coding method comprising:
an image acquisition step of acquiring a coding-target image;
a feature map generation step of generating a feature map, based on the image and an evaluation function, wherein the feature map has one or more fractals and each fractal has a fractal dimension and the fractal dimension includes a degree to which a feature fills available space, wherein the evaluation function is based on the fractal dimension and the fractal dimension is calculated for the coding-target image, such that the evaluation function is designed to have a greater loss result based on a code-target image having a lower fractality;
a contraction function generation step of performing fractal compression of the feature map and generating a contraction function; and
an entropy encoding step of performing entropy encoding of the contraction function.
