Abstract
A method to estimate the Minkowski dimension using neighborhood operations is described. Its implementation using a software package IMAGER-2 on a squ are grid with eight connectivity is presented. It is observed that a range of successive pairs of dilations helps in arriving at the best estimate. Th e methodology is applied to find the Minkowski dimension of the skeleton of a stress corrosion crack.
