Abstract :
In this paper, a fractal based feature extraction method is presented. This method calculates the fractals of color texture by utilizing the correlations among the color bands. Vector median operators are introduced to process the fractal features iteratively in order to obtain a representative color set. After segmentation a median filter is used to smooth the image. Experiments have been carried out with Khoros environment and the results confirm the effectiveness of the method
