Multiscaling and multifractality in image analysis

Abstract
This paper contains a contribution to the problem of the multifractal characterisation of complex structures arising in image analysis. The early spinodal decomposition of Cahn (Cahn, l965) has been used to illustrate the approach. This model, resulting from a purely random process, contains a characteristic length scale λ and is by construction a non (multi)-fractal object. It is shown that a blind use of the box counting method may lead to spurious multifractal curve, while the scaling of the information entropy provides a method to characterize the morphology of the model.
