The material herein provides with low-level image processing filters that can be used for multifractal experiments/analyses of signals and images.
Description
The code source files will enable you to reproduce some of the experiments mentioned in the references below, namely for:
- multifractal analysis of signals/images using the so-called micro-wavelet,
- calculation of the multifractal singularity exponents and the multifractal spectrum,
- multifracal decomposition of signals/images,
- extraction of the so-called Most Singular Manifold,
- characterisation of the so-called chromatically reduced signal/image,
- multifractal reconstruction of signals/images.
See also singularity project for multifractal singularity analysis of 1D (time-series) signals.
Usage
To launch the programs:
- in
Matlab, see alsoContents.mfor the whole list of functions; callrun_multifractal.mfor an example of application; - in
C, use theMakefileto build from source.
