The image processor IDOLON offers three methods to perform fractal image analysis: The box counting procedure for binary images, the 2D variation procedure for binary and greyscale images and the triangular prism surface area procedure for greyscale images. Analysis can be performed for the entire image as well as for parts of the image.
The fractal parameters can be taken to supply classification problems with textural information. Thus the structures under consideration don't have to be fractal at all.
For a comparison of the parameters a proper specification of the method, the image and the range of the scaling factor is required.
