3.3 Fractal dimension: Hausdorff’s dimension is the generally used represention for fractal dimension .Considering an object that possesses an Euclidean dimension R‚the Hausdorff’s fractal dimension F0 can be computed by the following expression: F0 = lim┬(e→0)log〖N(e〗 )/log〖e⁻¹〗 where N(e) is the counting of hyper-cubes of dimension R and length e that fill the object. But here fractal dimension is obtained using box counting algorithm .[15] 3.4 GLCM is the widely used statistical
