Zusammenfassung: | This work presents a new Visual Basic 6.0 application for estimating the fractal dimension of images, based on an optimized version of the box-counting algorithm. Following the attempt to separate the real information from “noise”, we considered also the family of all band-pass filters with the same band-width (specified as parameter). The fractal dimension can be thus represented as a function of the pixel color code. The program was used for the study of paintings cracks, as an additional tool which can help the critic to decide if an artistic work is original or not.

Nature of problem: Estimating the fractal dimension of images.
Solution method: Optimized implementation of the box-counting algorithm. Use of a band-pass filter for separating the real information from “noise”. User friendly graphical interface.
Restrictions: Although various file-types can be used, the application was mainly conceived for the 8-bit grayscale, windows bitmap file format.
Running time: In a first approximation, the algorithm is linear. |
