The Blanket Fractal Dimension Based on the Directed Pattern Plate

Abstract

Blanket fractal dimension is a kind of fractal dimension,which is usually used in image processing , and doesn't have a direction. This paper will propose to introduce the direction of pixel into the calculation of the Blanket fractal dimension, and use it to detect the edge of image. This algorithm will calculate the new blanket fractal dimension of the image at first, and then detect the edge with the method of the edge segmentation algorithm based on the traditional Blanket fractal dimension. After this, it will eliminate a part of pixels based on the IFS and Collage Theorem. Experiments will show that this algorithm is able to overcome the issue of double-border in the edge segmentation algorithm base on traditional Blanket fractal dimension, and extract the precision edges with the different directions. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i9.3258
