Pseudofractals and box counting algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that for sets with the Hausdorff–Besicovitch dimension equal zero the box counting algorithm commonly used to calculate Renyi exponents (dq) can exhibit perfect scaling suggesting non zero dq’s. Properties of these pathological sets (pseudofractals) are investigated. Numerical, as well as analytical estimates for dq’s are obtained. A simple indicator is given to distinguish pseudofractals and fractals in practical applications of the box counting method. Histograms made of pseudofractal sets are shown to have Pareto tails.

Optimal Dynamic Box-Counting Algorithm
An optimal box-counting algorithm for estimating the fractal dimension of a nonempty set which changes over time is given. This nonstationary environment is characterized by the insertion of new points into the set and in many cases the deletion of some existing points from the set. In this setting, the issue at hand is to update the box-counting result at appropriate time intervals with low co...
متن کاملA Variation of the Box-Counting Algorithm Applied to Colour Images
The box counting method for fractal dimension estimation had not been applied to large or colour images thus far due to the processing time required. In this letter we present a fast, easy to implement and very easily expandable to any number of dimensions variation, the box merging method. It is applied here in RGB images which are considered as sets in 5-D space.

This paper presents some results concerning the application of the fractal approach to the analysis of shape of white brain matter in the magnetic-resonance (MR) images. The fractal dimension of white brain matter was calculated using the box-counting algorithm.
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis on Estimation of Fractal Dimension of Gray Scale Images
Fractal Dimension (FD) is an essential feature of fractal geometry that characterizes the surface roughness of complex or irritated objects. Though, fractal dimension gradually established its importance in the area of image processing by means of image segmentation, Pattern recognition, texture and medical signal analysis and many more. A number of algorithms for estimation of fractal dimensio...
متن کاملComputing the Fractal Dimension of Software Networks
Given a large software system, it is possible to associate to it a graph, also known as software network, where graph nodes are the software modules (packages, files, classes or other software entities), and graph edges are the relationships between modules. A recent paper by some of the authors demonstrated that the structure of software networks is also self-similar under a length-scale trans...
