AbstractAn efficient image processing method is developed to determine the fractal dimension from a high resolution 3-D reconstruction of fracture surface. The third dimension of the fracture surface is obtained from a stereo pair. The elevation is locally determined through a recursive window matching algorithm centered on the cross-correlation operation. The method allows to reach high vertical and horizontal resolutions of the elevation map.The fractal dimension is obtained by an implementation of the slit-island method. A series of contour lines is extracted from the reconstructed surface. The images of the contour lines are progressively reduced in size and at every step the curve length is estimated. The result is then normalized according to the scale factor to build a Kolmogorov plot.The performance of this method is demonstrated on a synthetic image generated by a fracture surface mathematical model.

The contour lines of the saturated surface of the (2 + 1)-dimensional restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) growth model are investigated by numerical method. It is shown that the calculated contour lines are conformal invariant curves with fractal dimension df = 1.34, and they belong to the universality class at large-scale limit, called the Schramm–Loewner evolution with diffusivity κ = 4. This is identical to the value obtained from the inverse cascade of surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) turbulence [Phys. Rev. Lett.98 (2007) 024501]. We also found that the measured fractal dimensions of contours on the (2 + 1)-dimensional RSOS saturated surfaces do not coincide well with that of SLE4 df = 1 + κ/8.

Fractal theory is introduced in fracture surface research of alkali-slag concrete (ASC) under freeze-thaw cycles; crack distribution of ASC fracture surface and freeze-thaw damage zone were calculated. Through fractal analysis of ASC sample fracture surfaces, relevance between section fractal dimension and fracture toughness and relationship between material composition and section fractal dimension are clarified. Results show that the specimen’s cracks before freeze-thaw extend along force direction gently, and there are more twists and turns after freezing and thawing; the fractal dimension D also grows from 1.10 to 1.33. SEM internal microcracks’ D of ASC internal microstructure after freezing and thawing is 1.37; 0 to 300 times ASC fractal dimension under freezing and thawing is between 2.10 and 2.23; with freeze-thaw times increasing, ASC fracture toughness decreases and fractal dimension increases, the fractal dimension and fracture toughness have a good linear relationship, and the fractal dimension can reflect the toughening effect of ASC. It is very feasible to evaluate ASC fracture behaviour under freezing and thawing with the fractal theory. Fractal dimension generally increases with activator solution-slag (A/S for short) or slag content. The greater the amount of A/S or slag content, the lower the dimension.

Abstract The Slit Island Method (SIM) is a technique for the estimation of the fractal dimension of an object by determining the area- perimeter relations for successive slits. The SIM could be applied for image analysis of irregular grayscale objects and their classification using the fractal dimension. It is known that this technique is not functional in some cases. It is emphasized in this paper that for specific objects a negative or an infinite fractal dimension could be obtained. The transformation of the input image data from unipolar to bipolar gives a possibility of reformulated image analysis using the Ising model context. The polynomial approximation of the obtained area-perimeter curve allows object classification. The proposed technique is applied to the images of cervical cell nuclei (Papanicolaou smears) for the preclassification of the correct and atypical cells.
