The objective of this study is to assess any connections between the fractal dimension of edges in images of pastoral landscapes in Sweden and preference rating of the images and preference ratings for the edge images respectively. 23 participants volunteered for the trial. The mean age was 29,95 years, six of the subjects where women. The study consited of analysis of fractal dimension in images of pastoral landscapes from an earlier study and an experiment with human participants. The…

Fractal dimension of landscape silhouette outlines as a predictor of landscape preference
Landscape Design and the language of Nature
TLDR
To develop an aesthetic based on fractal geometry it is necessary to understand why fractal geography should be considered as a potential tool and whether the application of fractal analysis can differentiate between the types of landscape forms encountered every day.
Preference or preferences for landscape
Perceptual and physiological responses to the visual complexity of fractal patterns.
TLDR
Results showing that fractal images generated by mathematical, natural and human processes possess a shared aesthetic quality based on visual complexity are discussed, showing a preference for fractals with mid-range fractal dimensions.
Analysing Visual Landscape Complexity: Theory and Application
TLDR
The factors which constitute the dimensions of complexity perception and how these relate to coherence are outlined and a factor which seems to interact with complexity as regards to landscape experience is explored.
Fractal Analysis of Street Vistas: A Potential Tool for Assessing Levels of Visual Variety in Everyday Street Scenes
TLDR
A technique for calculating street vista fractal dimensions of textures extracted from greyscale images is presented, and correlations between the resultant fractal dimension and scores for perceived visual variety are discussed.
Why do Preferences Differ between Scene Types?
Groups of subjects judged one example of two different types of outdoor scene on each of the items of the Perceived Restorative Scale, on two preference scales and a familiarity scale. It was argued…
Universal aesthetic of fractals
Fractal-like image statistics in visual art: similarity to natural scenes.
TLDR
It is speculated that both graphic art and natural scenes share statistical properties because visual art is adapted to the structure of the visual system which, in turn, isadapt to process optimally the image statistics of natural scenes.
Investigations of Human EEG Response to Viewing Fractal Patterns
TLDR
Monitoring subjects' EEG while they were viewing fractals with different fractal dimensions shows that significant effects could be found in the EEG even by employing relatively simple silhouette images, pointing to a complicated interplay between different parts of the brain when experiencing this pattern.
