A REVIEW OF METHODS USED TO DETERMINE THE FRACTAL DIMENSION OF LINEARFEATURES

An in-depth review of the more commonly applied methods used in the de termination of the fractal dimension of one-dimensional curves is pres ented. Many often conflicting opinions about the different methods hav e been collected and are contrasted with each other. In addition, seve ral little known but potentially useful techniques are also reviewed. General recommendations which should be considered whenever applying a ny method are made.
