Abstract :
The main purpose of this research is to use the fractal dimension to analyze the characteristics of the surface shape of textile patterns. First give a brief description of the Fractal Theory is given and then, the characteristics of the surface shape of textile patterns are analysis. Based on box-counting method, an algorithm is derived to calculate the fractal dimension of the surface shape of textile patterns. Then, a computing program of the fractal dimension is developed with the help of MATLAB. Through this program, the surface shape of textile patterns is described. The results of this paper include a mathematical model to describe the observation of fractal characteristics in the surface shape of textile patterns.
