Correlation of Measured Fractal Dimensions with Lacunarities in Computer-Generated Three-Dimensional Images of Cantor Sets and Those of Fractional Brownian Motion

چکیده
Three-dimensional images constructed by CT and MRI has been recently taken as routine diagnosis in medicine and so measures such as fractal dimensions. Lacunarities for 3-dimensional networks or textures are expected to be used as diagnostic parameters. The method of moments and the box counting method to estimate the fractal dimensions of images were examined for their reliability, using images with theoretical fractaldimensions, which computationally implemented from 3-dimensional triadic Cantor sets and 3-dimensional fractional Brownian motion. In addition, correlation between the deviations of the measured dimensions from the theoretical ones and lacunarities was analyzed. The lacunarity, Λ-dila was defined using a morphological filter of 3-dimensional dilation of an image. It was found that the measured fractal-dimensions by the method of moments were well fit to the theoretical ones for those images with less Λ-dila’s, however, significantly deviated for those images with larger Λ-dila’s. Thus, the method of moments is expected to estimate sufficiently accurate fractal dimensions of textures in 3-dimensional medical images with less Λ-dila’s.

In this paper, we consider a class of time-dependent neutral stochastic evolution equations with the infinite delay and a fractional Brownian motion in a Hilbert space. We establish the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for these equations under non-Lipschitz conditions with Lipschitz conditions being considered as a special case. An example is provided to illustrate the theory

In this paper, a new classification scheme of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images using fractal dimension as contextual information is proposed. Support vector machines (SVM) due to their ability to handle the nonlinear classifier problem are applied to a new fractal feature vector, which is constructed from Pauli decomposed vector and fractal dimensions. Fractal dimension is ...
