Three Dimensional Visualization and Fractal Analysis of Mosaic Patches in Rat Chimeras: Cell Assortment in Liver, Adrenal Cortex and Cornea
Figure 6
Fractal dimension of chimeric rat corneas.
Once images of the chimeric rat corneas are turned into binary images, the fractal dimension is determined from the slope of the regression line of box counting data. The box counting data is collected over several orders of magnitude in size and regression lines are fitted to log-log plots of the number of boxes counted versus the size of the box. Shown here are the log-log plots of 19 images from 10 chimeric rats, demonstrating that they are fractal.
