The box counting method for evaluate the fractal Dimension in radiographic images

چکیده
Since the end of the Seventies, following work of the French mathematician Mandelbrot, We are witnessing the true exploitation of the interest expressed by the scientific community for the fractals objects. The aim of this paper is to introduce the fractal theory by the calculation of the fractal dimension in the radiographic images. We implement for that, the box counting method for the segmentation of the images. This method will be presented, as well as a study of the effect of the change of the rang of the box sizes (rmin and rmax) on fractal dimension is carried out. Key-Words: Box counting method, fractal, fractal dimension, radiographic images, side length, self-similarity.

The Fractal Dimension correlated to the bone mineral density
Osteoporosis is a condition of decreased bone mass. This leads to fragile bones which are at an increased risk for fractures, more often, it affects postmenopausal women. In this paper we propose a study of osteoporosis with the fractal dimension. After an introduction to the theory and fractal dimension, we use the box counting method for the segmentation of radiographic images, the study of t...

Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...

Background:Leukemia is cancer of blood and bone marrow cells. In general, there are four types of leukemia: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Fractal geometry can be introduced as one of the effective ways to detect this type of cancer. In this study, with introduc...
متن کاملA Box-Counting Method with Adaptable Box Height for Measuring the Fractal Feature of Images
Most of the existing box-counting methods for measuring fractal features are only applicable to square images or images with each dimension equal to the power of 2 and require that the box at the top of the box stack of each image block is of the same height as that of other boxes in the same stack, which gives rise to inaccurate estimation of fractal dimension. In this paper, we propose a more...
متن کاملAccurate Estimation of Fractal Dimension of Binary Images by Box-Counting Method with Automatic Scale Selection
Fractal dimension can be used to describe the self-similarity, the complexity, or the irregularity of images. One of the most popular ways to estimate the fractal dimension of images is the box-counting method (BCM). Its naive estimates, however, tend to be inaccurate. This paper gives careful consideration to the sources of inaccurate estimates and modifies Buczkowski's method for accurate est...
