Fractal research of pathological tissue images

A novel texture detecting analysis for medical pathological tissue images was developed by fractal Brown model. According to fractal Brown random field model, a discrete fractal random field for image texture detection on a definite scale could be derived from the Brown model. Using fractal dimensions in partial region of the image and gray difference between adjacent pixels and relevant Hurst coefficient, a new medical image texture detecting analysis that could reflect the image feature was brought forward. The detecting results had been acquired. The results indicate that the texture detecting method by the Brown model is remarkable. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
