Quantifying Boundary Complexity Using Fractal Dimension Analysis for Natural Object
摘要
This study assesses the comparative effectiveness of AND and NAND gate circuits in determining the fractal dimension of mangroves in the Sundarbans, West Bengal, utilizing Landsat 8 data. Employing the “Modified Cylinder Packing Dimension Calculation” concept, the research emphasizes the use of circular regions in gate logic for uniform pixel coverage within a specified radius. The computed fractal dimensions yield 1.6956 for NAND and 1.9258 for AND gates. Due to the absence of ground truth values, the study evaluates computational cost and efficiency to conclude. The findings reveal that the AND gate method is more reliable and efficient, with fewer memory accesses and operations compared to the NAND gate. This analysis sheds light on the application of gate logic circuits in fractal dimension analysis for natural landscapes, particularly mangrove ecosystems. The preference for circular regions enhances the understanding of irregular boundaries and patterns within these ecosystems. Overall, this research contributes not only to the comprehension of mangrove dynamics but also provides valuable insights into the computational efficiency of gate logic circuits in the context of fractal analysis for natural landscapes.
