An examination of fractal dimension approach of image classification

In this paper we tested the application of fractal dimension on gamma-ray images. We discover that, contrary to general belief, fractal dimension is not always a good tool to help us to select the images that we are interested. Besides, we have pointed out that similar fractal dimension doesn’t means there are similar fractal pattern. We also discussed the possibility of applying fractal dimension in image recognition. We conclude that it should be careful to use FD as the main tool to recognize images but it can be an auxiliary parameter to help the decision.
