Abstract:
The work is devoted to the properties of grayscale images based on the concept of fractal dimension. An algorithm for calculating the empirical lattice fractal dimension (ELFD) of an arbitrary grayscale image is presented. The results of theoretical studies of the properties of pyramidal fractal representations of images and ELFD are presented, the properties of ELFD are compared with the properties of theoretical fractal dimension. Two classes of grayscale images with different fractal properties are described. The results of using ELFD in the descriptions of fingerprint images for the purpose of their identification are presented.
