Chaos theory is a study researching the irregular, unpredictable behavior of deterministic and non-linear dynamical system. The interpretation using Chaos makes us evaluate characteristic existing in status space of system by tine series, so that the extraction of Chaos characteristic understanding and those characteristics enables us to do high precision interpretation. Therefore, This paper propose the new method which is adopted in extracting character features and recognizing characters using the Chaos Theory. Firstly, it gets features of mesh feature, projection feature and cross distance feature from input character images. And their feature is converted into time series data. Then using the modified Henon system suggested in this paper, it gets last features of character image after calculating Box-counting dimension, Natural Measure, information bit and information dimension which are meant fractal dimension. Finally, character recognition is performed by statistically finding out the each information bit showing the minimum difference against the normalized pattern database. An experimental result shows 99% character classification rates for 2,350 Korean characters (Hangul) using proposed method in this paper.

Fractal geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry which has been developed to quantitative analysis irregular or fractional shapes. Fractal dimension of irregular surface has fractal values ranging from 2 to 3 and of irregular line profile has fractal values ranging from 1 to 2. In this paper, quantitative analysis of crack growth patterns during the fracture processing of fiber-reinforced cement composites based on fractal geometry. The fracture behaviors of fiber reinforced mortar beams subjected to three-point loading in flexure. The beams all had a single notch depth, but varing volume fractions of polypropylene, cellulose fibers. The crack growth behaviors, as observed through the image processing system, and the box counting method was used to determine the fractal dimension, Df. The results showed that the linear correlation exists between fractal dimension and fracture energy of the fiber reinforced cement mortar.

Surface crack growth characteristics and influence of the stress amplitude in rotary bending fatigue test were evaluated for annealed S35C steel, and than fractal dimensions of fatigue crack paths estimated using the box counting method. The following results that will be helpful to understand the fatigue crack growth mechanism were obtained. (1) Crack growth rate ds/dN and db/dN (s : half crack length at the surface crack, b : crack depth) depended on stress amplitude (${\Delta}{\sigma}/2$), stress intensity factor range (${\Delta}K_A, {\Delta}K_C$) and crack length. (2) At the effect area of 0.3 mm hole notch (s＜0.5 mm) crack growth rate did not depend on these factors. (3) The fractal dimensions (D) increased with stress amplitude (${\Delta}{\sigma}/2$) but decreased with cyclic number.

The fractal geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry which describes the naturally irregular or fragmented shapes, so that it can be applied to fracture behavior of materials to investigate the fracture process. Fractal curves have a characteristic that represents a self-similarity as an invariant based on the fractal dimension. This fractal geometry was applied to the crack growth of cementitious composites in order to correlate the fracture behavior to microstructures of cementitious composites. The purpose of this study was to find relationships between fractal dimensions and fracture energy. Fracture test was carried out in order to investigate the fracture behavior of plain and fiber reinforced cement composites. The load-CMOD curve and fracture energy of the beams were observed under the three point loading system. The crack profiles were obtained by the image processing system. Box counting method was used to determine the fractal dimension, D$_{f}$. It was known that the linear correlation exists between fractal dimension and fracture energy of the cement composites. The implications of the fractal nature for the crack growth behavior on the fracture energy, G$_{f}$ is apparent.ent.

In Korean topography the behaviors of random fractals and multifractality are analytically and numerically studied on the mountain heights shown between $128{\sim}129^{\circ}E$ and $37{\sim}38^{\circ}N$. The phase transitions on the fractal structure are approximately found at the critical length $N_c=2000m$ from the values of standard deviations that it varies with both the longitudinal and latitudinal lengths. In the multifractal structure we assume that the mountain heights divided by the intervals of 20 m are located on the horizontal plane in two dimensional square lattice, and estimate the values of the generalized dimension and the scaling exponents by using the the box counting method for the three cases of square area ($1{\times}1km^2$, $2{\times}2km^2$, $4{\times}4km^2$).

In this study, we examined the fractal structure of the Nikkei225, HangSeng, Shanghai Stock Exchange and Straits Times Index of Singapore. Empirical analysis was performed via non-parametric, semi-parametric long memory tests and also fractal dimension calculations. In order to avoid spurious long memory features, besides the Detrended Fluctuations Analysis (DFA), we also used Smith's (2005) modified GPH method. As for fractal dimension calculations, they were conducted via Box-Counting and Variation (p=1) tests. According to the results, while there is no long memory property in log returns of any index, we found evidence for long memory properties in the volatility of the HangSeng, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Straits Times Index. However, we could not find any sign of long memory in the volatility of Nikkei225 index using either the DFA or modified GPH test. Fractal dimension analysis also demonstrated that all raw index prices have fractal structure properties except for the Nikkei225 index. These findings showed that the Nikkei225 index has the most efficient market properties among these markets.

In this paper, the purpose is evaluation of the effect of using fractal feature in machine learning based pancreatic tumor classification. We used the data that Pancreas CT series 469 case including 1995 slice of benign and 1772 slice of malignant. Feature selection is implemented from 109 feature to 7 feature by Lasso regularization. In Fractal feature, fractal dimension is obtained by box-counting method, and hurst coefficient is calculated range data of pixel value in ROI. As a result, there were significant differences in both benign and malignancies tumor. Additionally, we compared the classification performance between model without fractal feature and model with fractal feature by using support vector machine. The train model with fractal feature showed statistically significant performance in comparison with train model without fractal feature.

조간대의 조류로 발달은 조간대 퇴적물종류, 입도, 조성 및 조류의 세기 등 에 많은 영향을 받는다. 따라서 조류로의 발달 특성, 밀도, 형태 등은 조간대의 특징을 분석하는데 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 아직 갯벌의 조류로에 대한 정량적 분석은 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 조류로의 정량적 분류기준으로 프랙탈 분석방법을 제시하고, 발달 정도가 다른 두 지역의 조류로에 대한 적용결과에 대한 정량적 비교를 제시한다. 시험 적용지역인 강화도 남단 조간대에서 얻어진 IKONOS 영상으로부터 조류로를 추출한 뒤, 프랙탈 분석방법 중 2차원 분석에 많이 사용되는 box counting 방법을 적용하여 프랙탈 차원을 구하였다. 분석 결과 강화도 남단 전체 조간대 지역에 대한 프랙탈 차원 값은 약 1.31로 나타났다. 조류로의 지선이 단순하며 남북으로 수직방향으로 발달한 지역은 프랙탈 차원 값이 $1.0563\sim1.0672$로 비교적 적은 값을 나타내는 반면, 조류로의 지선이 발달하고 매우 복잡한 형태를 보이는 곳은 프랙탈 차원 값이 $1.2550\sim1.3016$로 나타났다. 즉, 조류로의 발달정도에 따라 프랙탈 차원 값이 약 0.2 정도로 매우 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내며, 따라서 조류로의 정량적 구분이 프랙탈 분석에 의하여 가능하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 향후 다른 특성을 갖는 다양한 조간대 지역에 적용하면 조류로의 발달정도와 환경 인자에 대한 정량적 분석이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: To assess bony trabecular changes potentially caused by loading stress around dental implants using fractal dimension analysis. Methods: Fractal dimensions were measured in 48 subjects by comparing radiographs taken immediately after prosthesis delivery with those taken 1 year after functional loading. Regions of interest were isolated, and fractal analysis was performed using the box-counting method with Image J 1.42 software. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the difference in fractal dimension before and after implant loading. Results: The mean fractal dimension before loading ($1.4213{\pm}0.0525$) increased significantly to $1.4329{\pm}0.0479$ at 12 months after loading (P<0.05). Conclusions: Fractal dimension analysis might be helpful in detecting changes in peri-implant alveolar trabecular bone patterns in clinical situations.
