โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a new method for estimating the fractal dimension of one-dimensional pro"les. In this approach, the real fractal dimension D is considered as an implicit continuous function of the estimated fractal dimension D , the resolution and several other elements. By approximating this function from a number of experimental data, we can obtain more precise estimates of the fractal dimension D. This approximation is done using a fuzzy logic controller and an averaging procedure, permitting to, respectively, decrease two kinds of estimation errors: (1) systematic errors, which are associated with values of D, resolution, trends of pro"les, and etc. (2) stochastic errors, which are mainly caused by the choice of the sequence + I , representing the sizes of structuring elements corresponding to di!erent scales. The e!ectiveness of this method is shown by estimating fractal dimensions for two sample functions and a number of natural and synthetic "bers.
