Fractal

Biology

To illustrate the calculation of the fractal dimension, we are interested in the spatial distribution of an "algal bloom" into a river.

(a) : algal bloom apparition in river (Florida); (b) : Image (a) filtered.

The fractal dimension of the algae distribution is obtained using the box-counting method. is estimated by the slope in log-log plot.
