Using Fractal Characteristics such as Fractal Dimension, Lacunarity and Succolarity to Characterize Texture Patterns on Images
نویسنده
چکیده
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 same does not happen with the other two measures. Although Lacunarity has been more and more used in works exploring its characteristics, Succolarity, until now, has not been computed.

Fractal signature and lacunarity in the measurement of the texture of trabecular bone in clinical CT images.
Fractal analysis is a method of characterizing complex shapes such as the trabecular structure of bone. Numerous algorithms for estimating fractal dimension have been described, but the Fourier power spectrum method is particularly applicable to self-affine fractals, and facilitates corrections for the effects of noise and blurring in an image. We found that it provided accurate estimates of fr...
متن کاملBiomaterial 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 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...
متن کاملFractal Dimension and Lacunarity of Psoriatic Lesions — A Colour Approach —
Fractal measures like fractal dimension and lacunarity are widely-used for the analysis of textures, or any images with self-similar content. However, all the existing approaches are defined for one dimensional signals or binary images with extension to grey-scale images. We propose a colour approach, derived from the existing probabilistic algorithm for the computation of the fractal dimension...

Every phenomena in the nature, despite the complexity of the subject, has certain rules and regulations. River pattern and behavior as one of the most complex natural phenomena to this is not an exception. Depending on geomorphologic, climatic, topographic and erosive conditions, the waterways exhibit different patterns and behaviors. One of the parameters which can be achieved using the comple...
