Fractal dimension is an interesting feature proposed to characterize roughness and self-similarity in a picture. This feature has been used in texture segmentation and classification, shape analysis and other problems. An efficient differential box-counting approach to estimate fractal dimension is proposed in this note. By comparison with four other methods, it has been shown that the authors, method is both efficient and accurate. Practical results on artificial and natural textured images…

Efficient fractal method for texture classification

The discriminating capacity and the time efficiency of EFD are evaluated in comparison with fractal dimension (FD) computed by box counting both theoretically and empirically and revealed that EFD is better than FD for texture identification and classification.
