An efficient approach to estimate fractal dimension of textural images

摘要

Fractal dimension is an interesting parameter to characterize roughness in an image. It can be used in texture segmentation, estimation of three-dimensional (3D) shape and other information. A new method is proposed to estimate fractal dimension in a two-dimensional (2D) image which can readily be extended to a 3D image as well. The method has been compared with other existing methods to show that our method is both efficient and accurate.
