Fractal Dimension Methods

This document discusses three methods of calculating fractal dimension: fractal signature, box counting, and information dimension. Fractal signature measures the change in area with changing scale, where area is a function of resolution, fractal dimension, and a constant. Information dimension is defined as the normalized probability that elements are populated, where the information dimension is the limit of information over the natural log of resolution as resolution approaches zero.

There are different methods of solving fractal dimension aside from the box counting method that was
discussed. These methods are:

1. Fractal Signature
This signature of an image is the change in a measured area with a changing scale. For a
pure fractal gray image, the area A at a scale e is given by

A ( )=F 2 D ,
where is the resolution of the gray levels in the image, D is fractal dimension and F is a
constant [1].

2. Information Dimension
The information function I is defined to be
N

I Pi ( ) ln [ Pi ( ) ]
i=1

Pi ( ) is the probability that element i is populated, normalized such that

where
N

Pi ( )=1
i=1

Thus, the information dimension is given by [2]

ln ( )
d inf lim
+

Pi ( ) ln [ Pi ( ) ]
ln ( )
i=1
lim

0 +
