Characterization of karstic aquifer complexity using fractal dimensions

FONT DISCRIMINATIO USING FRACTAL DIMENSIONS

One of the related problems of OCR systems is discrimination of fonts in machine printed document images. This task improves performance of general OCR systems. Proposed methods in this paper are based on various fractal dimensions for font discrimination. First, some predefined fractal dimensions were combined with directional methods to enhance font differentiation. Then, a novel fractal dime...

Freshwater-saltwater motion in a coastal karstic aquifer -

The case study of the brackish spring of "Almyros of Heraklio" in Crete (Greece) and its vast carbonate coastal aquifer is presented, showing the consequence of preferential flows of continental fresh water and saline sea water in karst galleries in a coastal area. Flow heterogeneity generates unexpected upconing in boreholes, and permits the spring of Almyros not to be directly connected with ...

Measuring Watermarking Robustness Using Fractal Dimensions

The authors present a new approach for measuring watermarking robustness in the case of color attacks of rgb-color watermarked images. This approach is applied to evaluate the robustness of our algorithm to watermark an rgb-color image by modifying pixels colors. It is based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and it uses fractal dimensions to quantify modified color pixels. The authors test smooth and ...

Visualizing Flow Fields Using Fractal Dimensions

Streamlines are a popular way of visualizing flow in vector fields. A major challenge in flow field visualization is selecting the streamlines to view. Rendering too many streamlines clutters the visualization and makes features of the field difficult to identify. Rendering too few streamlines causes viewers to completely miss features of the flow field not rendered. The fractal dimension of a ...
