MULTIFRACTAL AND GENERALIZED DIMENSIONS OF GRAY-TONE DIGITAL IMAGES

Fractal geometry has found widespread applications in image processing problems. One interesting fractal parameter is the fractal dimension that characterizes the roughness of the image. Higher-order fractal di mensions called multifractal dimensions are used to characterize the u nderlying inhomogeneity of texture in an image. This note deals with t he methods of estimating fractal and multifractal dimensions of gray-t one digital images. Experimental results on texture images from the Br odatz album are presented and discussed.
