Together with rapid development in GI science recent decades, the fractal geometry represents a powerful tool for various geographic analyses and studies. This study points the land-cover areas with extreme values of fractal dimension in Olomouc region. This leads, together with consequent statistical analyses, to result that according to fractal dimension it is possible to distinguish (or at l...

The paper describes a multi-resolution algorithm based on fractal geometry for texture analysis and detection of oil spills in SAR images. The multi-resolution approach reduces the problems of speckle and sea clutter and preserves subtle variations of oil slicks. The use of fractal dimension as a feature for classification improves the oil spill detection, since enhances texture discrimination....
