Abstract
One of the most popular ways of estimating fractal dimension (DS) is t he box-counting method (BCM). The major problem with this method is th at it leads to results with a very high percentage of error. The modif ied box-counting method (MBCM) was developed as a methodic procedure t o set sequence and range. The procedure eliminates two problems of the computerized BCM, the border effect and noninteger values of E. The M BCM is a new, powerful tool, very simple to use, allowing accurate est imation of Df. (C) 1998 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Else vier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
