AIM To investigate and quantify changes in the branching patterns of the retina vascular network in diabetes using the fractal analysis method. METHODS This was a clinic-based prospective study of 172 participants managed at the Ophthalmological Clinic of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between January 2012 and December 2013. A set of 172 segmented and skeletonized human retinal images, corresponding t...

Gazestan magnetite-apatite deposit is located in Central Iran and Bafq region, which has been occurred in form of veins, veinlets, and small apatite lenses as well as magnetite in metasomatic rock types such as green chlorite-actinolite rock units. These rocks are situated in the carbonate-volcanic complex of Upper Precambrian-Lower Cambrian Rizo formation. In this study, staged factor analysis...

Antenna Miniaturization Using Fractals Richa Garg, AP ECE Deptt., [email protected], J.C.D.C.O.E., Sirsa ABSTRACTThe use of fractal geometry in designing antenna has been a resent topic of interest. Fractal shape has their own unique characteristics that the improved antenna performance can be achieved without degrading the antenna properties. Modern telecommunication system requires antenn...

A multiscale approach to hyperspectral image data analysis using fractal signatures was proposed and implemented in the Interactive Data Language (IDL). For 2-D hyperspectral curves, fractal signature measures the changes in curve length with changing scale. Using NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Hyperion image from a study area near Denton, Texas, USA, the capabilities of fractal signatures in ...

A novel texture detecting analysis for medical pathological tissue images was developed by fractal Brown model. According to fractal Brown random field model, a discrete fractal random field for image texture detection on a definite scale could be derived from the Brown model. Using fractal dimensions in partial region of the image and gray difference between adjacent pixels and relevant Hurst ...

In this paper the age group estimation is presented based on combination of texture and fractal dimension features. The age of the human is used as one of the important key parameter for computer vision applications. The fractal dimension of the face image and the texture analysis is used to classify the age of the person into the three different groups such as child(10-20), young(21-50) and ol...

Fractal geometry has proven to be a useful tool in quantifying the structure of a wide range of idealized and naturally occurring objects, from pure mathematics, through physics and chemistry, to biology and medicine. In the past few years fractal analysis techniques have gained increasing attention in signal and image processing, especially in medical sciences, e.g. in pathology, neuropsychiat...
