Fractal Dimension and Characteristic of Tree Branch Growth

Abstract:

Fractal analysis of plant spatial patterns has been used to characterize the regressive ecological succession. The fractal dimension is used as a variable to help in charactering specific patterns in different kind of trees. A computational program was developed to process, analyze and extract the features of images of tree branch structure. Results are presented from four experiments to determine plant species from the color image of tree branch growth.
