fractal_dimension — 2D features op

Data kinds: imagefeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "fractal_dimension", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

fractal_dimension: input → output

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*

Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

fractal_dimension: knob a sweep (docs site)

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Usage

> This operator's description has not been translated yet. The original text follows as it is.

テクスチャの複雑さを測る Minkowski-Bouligand(ボックスカウント)フラクタル次元。

閾値 `a(既定 0.5)で二値化し、箱サイズ s = 1, 2, 4, …` について「構造を

含む s×s 箱」の数 `N(s) を数え、log N(s)log(1/s)` に最小二乗回帰した

傾きを返す(Mandelbrot 1982)。直線状の構造は ~1、平面を埋める領域は ~2、自己

相似な縁は中間の非整数(Sierpinski 三角形なら `log 3 / log 2 ≈ 1.585`)。表面

粗さ・組織テクスチャ・地形・破面などの安価な複雑さ特徴に使える。

有限解像度のため塗り潰し領域は 2 をやや下回る(粗いスケールで箱が飽和する既知の

過小評価)。`a が二値化の閾値、b` は未使用。構造が無い/1 スケールしか取れない

ときは 0 を返す。
