Use the information dimension, not the Hausdorff
Multi-fractal patterns occur widely in nature. In developing new algorithms to determine multi-fractal spectra of experimental data I am lead to the conclusion that generalised dimensions Dq of order…

Image Processing of Finite Size Rat Retinal Ganglion Cells Using Multifractal and Local Connected Fractal Analysis
TLDR
Three methods were applied to elucidate the variation within 16 rat retinal ganglion cells: local connected fractal dimension (LCFD), mass-radius (MR) and maximum likelihood multifractal (MLM) analyses, concluding that the latter method warrants further attention as it may improve results in other application areas.

TLDR
The set of indicators characterizing the data sample properties from the unified position based on the fractal analysis principles and the methods of sample fractal dimension determining are proposed and can be used to solve the problem of data dimensionality reduction.
