Book cover Biometrics, Computer Security Systems and Artificial Intelligence Applications

Abstract

A new program was prepared for approximate calculation of the fractal dimension of natural objects. The program takes care to fulfill demand of the fractal theory about the minimal covering of the measured object. Three other programs are being presented for comparison and the results obtained by all of them on the same data sets are described
