β¦ Synopsis
The characterisation of natural shapes is often attempted using fractal geometry. As many physical surfaces are created by random processes, the technique has found use in tribology, in characterisation of rough surfaces and particles. There is a multitude of techniques that can be used to calculate a fractal dimension, from profiles, boundaries, surfaces, distributed clusters, etc. This paper discusses the uses and limitations of the popular Richardson technique commonly used to calculate the fractal dimension from surface profiles and particle boundaries.

Particle filtering may cope with non-linear and/or non-Gaussian models. As a counterpart, this technique suffers from an heavy computation cost and cannot always satisfy the real time constraints of applications. A data parallel algorithm is proposed to achieve real-time particle filtering. Extensiv
