Summary:This paper describes a practical algorithm for estimating the fractal dimensions of textured images and discusses the scale limits for which it is applicable. The proposed method is an improvement over the differential box-counting method of Sarkar and Chaudhuri (1992, 1994). Computer generated image surfaces and natural textures are used to test our approach. The results confirm that our method is more accurate and efficient.
