Background: Early simple, low-cost diagnosis of schizophrenia may accelerate the beginning of the treatment process. Here, utilizing the projective tools, including fractal images, are some of the diagnostic aids. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the preferences, descriptions, and response latency to fractal images between schizophrenic and healthy individuals. Materials & Methods: In ...

A new method for estimating fractal dimension of tree crowns from digital images is presented. Three species of trees, Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata Sieb & Zucc), Hicks yew (Taxus × media), and eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.), were studied. Fractal dimensions of Japanese yew and Hicks yew range from 2.26 to 2.70. Fractal dimension of eastern white pine range from 2.14 to 2.43. The differe...

In this paper the age group estimation is presented based on combination of texture and fractal dimension features. The age of the human is used as one of the important key parameter for computer vision applications. The fractal dimension of the face image and the texture analysis is used to classify the age of the person into the three different groups such as child(10-20), young(21-50) and ol...

In this study, a fractal, Y-shaped dual-mode resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is introduced. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeroes (TZs) near the lower and upper cutoff frequency that can effectively improve the passband edge selectivity. Also, a fractal shaped based on conventional diamond and ...

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

1 Abstract— In this paper the Modified Fractal Signature (MFS) method is applied to real Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images provided to our research group by SET 163 Working Group on SAR radar techniques. This method uses the 'blanket' technique to provide useful information for SAR image classification. It is based on the calculation of the volume of a 'blanket', corresponding to the image ...
