Comparative study of methods to determine fractal dimension

Abstract

The paper focuses on detection of branch retinal vein occlusion as it is the most common type of occlusion seen leading to sudden vision loss. A novel method of Fractal Analysis is used for analysis of this disorder. This paper focuses on comparative study of methods to determine fractal dimension. The methods used are mass-radius method and box counting method. The implementation work using mass-radius and box counting method is also discussed along with the algorithm used. The algorithm of mass-radius and box counting method is applied on both normal as well as occluded retinal vessels and the results are obtained for the same.
