Application of the Modified Fractal Signature Method for Terrain Classification from Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
In this paper the Modified Fractal Signature method is applied to real Synthetic Aperture Radar images provided to our research group by SET 163 Working Group on SAR radar techniques. This method uses the blanket technique to provide useful information for SAR image classification. It is based on the calculation of the volume of a blanket, corresponding to the image to be classified, and then on the calculation of the corresponding Fractal Area curve and Fractal Dimension curve of the image. The main idea concerning this proposed technique is the fact that different terrain types encountered in SAR images yield different values of Fractal Area curves and Fractal Dimension curves, upon which classification of different types of terrain is possible. As a result, a classification technique for five different terrain types, i.e. urban, suburban, rural, mountain and sea, is presented in this paper.

A fractal dimension based optimal wavelet packet analysis technique for classification of meningioma brain tumours
With the heterogeneous nature of tissue texture, using a single resolution approach for optimum classification might not suffice. In contrast, a multiresolution wavelet packet analysis can decompose the input signal into…

The Hausdorff fractal dimension has been a fast-to-calculate method to estimate complexity of fractal shapes. In this work, a modified version of this fractal dimension is presented in order to make it more robust when a…
Encoding Spatial Distribution of Convolutional Features for Texture Representation
Existing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often use global average pooling (GAP) to aggregate feature maps into a single representation. However, GAP cannot well characterize complex distributive patterns of spatial …
