A Box-Counting Method with Adaptable Box Height for Measuring the Fractal Feature of Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the existing box-counting methods for measuring fractal features are only applicable to square images or images with each dimension equal to the power of 2 and require that the box at the top of the box stack of each image block is of the same height as that of other boxes in the same stack, which gives rise to inaccurate estimation of fractal dimension. In this paper, we propose a more accurate box-counting method for images of arbitrary size, which allows the height of the box at the top of each grid block to be adaptable to the maximum and minimum gray-scales of that block so as to circumvent the common limitations of existing box-counting methods.

An Approximated Box Height for Differential-Box-Counting Method to Estimate Fractal Dimensions of Gray-Scale Images
The Fractal Dimension (FD) of an image defines the roughness using a real number which is highly associated with the human perception of surface roughness. It has been applied successfully for many computer vision applications such as texture analysis, segmentation and classification. Several techniques can be found in literature to estimate FD. One such technique is Differential Box Counting (...
