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

Abstract

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
