Biomaterial porosity determined by fractal dimensions, succolarity and lacunarity on microcomputed tomographic images.
Porous structures are becoming more and more important in biology and material science because they help in reducing the density of the grafted material. For biomaterials, porosity also increases the accessibility of cells and vessels inside the grafted area. However, descriptors of porosity are scanty. We have used a series of biomaterials with different types of porosity (created by various p...
متن کاملUsing Fractal Characteristics such as Fractal Dimension, Lacunarity and Succolarity to Characterize Texture Patterns on Images
Three aspects of texture are considered by the fractal geometry: Fractal Dimension (FD), Lacunarity and Succolarity. Fractal Dimension has been well studied; a great number of approaches have been presented to extract it from images. It can be computed from black-white to multi-band image. There are many approaches also, from the simple Box-Dimension to the most complex Hausdorff Dimension. The...
متن کاملFractal Dimension and Lacunarity Estimated by Sequential 1d Polygonization of 2d Images
A new method for estimating fractal dimension is introduced, based on polygo-nization of 1D curves obtained by scanning 2D images. A strategy for automatic determination of the range of scales where the image is approximately fractal is described. Two new lacunarity measures are also introduced. The method has been compared to several diierent methods for estimation of fractal dimension and lac...
متن کاملFractal Geometry and Porosity
A fractal is an object or a structure that is self-similar in all length scales. Fractal geometry is an excellent mathematical tool used in the study of irregular geometric objects. The concept of the fractal dimension, D, as a measure of complexity is defined. The concept of fractal geometry is closely linked to scale invariance, and it provides a framework for the analysis of natural phenomen...
متن کاملTexture Classification Using Fractal Dimension and Lacunarity
The fractal features including fractal dimension (FD) and lacunarity measures are often used as indicators of texture. Several FD and lacunarity estimation methods leading to different results have been proposed in the literature. This paper is devoted mainly to show the need to combine the lacunarity with fractal dimension for the discrimination between different textures and especially to che...
