Fractal dimension images from SAR images

In this paper we present the description of the image-processing issues underlying the estimation of the fractal dimension of natural surfaces from their corresponding synthetic aperture radar images. The choice of the spectral-estimation method is a key issue, due to the special nature of the problem at hand. In particular, fractal spectra present well-known leakage problems; moreover, high-variance issues can arise, due to the limited sample size dictated by the local nature of the problem. Meaningful examples of fractal dimension images are provided and discussed.
