Abstract
An approach to natural surface analysis and characterization that is based on multifractals is presented. Such an approach presents many interesting peculiarities in the extraction of textural features from an image. A new method to compute such features is suggested, together with their use in the image segmentation process. Comparative results on SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images, by applying a data-fusion segmentation module, are presented and discussed
