Análise de Rugosidade de Fungos através de Dimensao Fractal

Abstract:

This work presents some preliminary results of the use of the box counting method to estimate the roughness in fungal mycelia colonies, named pellets. A relationship between fractal dimension and roughness is stablished. Considering that the format of fungal colonies is aproximately spherical and symmetric, a section of a microscopic image of a pellets is used in a threshold method to detect its border, which determines a curve. The fractal box counting method is applied to this curve.
