Quantitative spatial analysis of randomly situated surface water bodies through f-alpha spectra

A notable similarity is observed between the probability distributions obta ined from a data set that contains a large number of randomly situated surf ace water bodies and the probability distributions estimated by binomial mu ltiplicative process. From these well conformed probability distributions, the generalised information dimensions have been computed through f-alpha s pectra to characterise and quantify the spatial Organisation of the surface water bodies. It is noticed from the investigated case study that the resu lts tend to vary by changing the direction of bisecting process. The experi mental results on spatial distribution of surface water bodies of the study area qualify that the computed generalised information dimensions for the vertical bisecting is rather uniform than that of the horizontal bisecting process.
