It is generally found that natural objects possess self-similarity and self-affinity in their structures. Fractal analysis, a technique based on these properties, has been widely used in various research applications. In the active remote sensing of the earth terrain, it is possible to extract this fractal information from the images obtained. In this application, fractal surface dimension, an important parameter in fractal analysis, can be employed as an additional feature to classify different landuse areas. This fractal surface dimension is generally related to the roughness of the surface. By keeping the x and y coordinates of the pixels of the image, and taking the grey level of each pixel as its z coordinate, a three-dimensional surface can be constructed. The calculation of fractal surface dimension can then be carried out on that surface. 2, record 7, English, - fractal%20analysis

L'apparition des images à très haute résolution spatiale en télédétection a substantiellement compliqué l'analyse automatique des images optiques. La difficulté de l'analyse fractale [Kaplan, 1999], etc. ne semble pas pouvoir s'adapter à toutes les formes de textures. La grande variation locale des niveaux de gris des objets présents dans les images optiques à très haute résolution spatiale, rend obsolètes les méthodes d'analyse précédemment citées. Dans [Pentland, 1984], il est montré que la dimension fractale peut être utilisée pour caractériser des scènes naturelles; toutefois, ce type d'analyse n'est plus efficace lorsque l'image à étudier est très irrégulière. Pour analyser des signaux possédant une régularité variant fortement d'un point à un autre, il est préférable d'utiliser l'analyse multifractale. Nous proposons un nouvelle approche à la segmentation d'images de télédétection basée sur l'analyse des composants fractals de l'image. Elle ne nécessite aucune connaissance a priori sur l'image, et étudie la régularité locale et globale par le biais de l'exposant de Hölder et du spectre multifractal. Les singularités et les irrégularités d'un signal sont souvent porteuses de la plus grande part d'information. 3, record 7, French, - analyse%20fractale

Masks for printed or microcircuitry work can be prepared by simple techniques such as knife cutting, or by means of sophisticated systems. For both printed and integrated-circuit work, the original circuit layout is the starting point. Then, means for generating the pattern, reproduction, and mask making must be devised. Photomask making for integrated circuit production required far more precision, accuracy, and resolution than does the printed circuit manufacturing process. Whereas printed circuits require careful design and production attention in X and Y dimensions, IC production introduces the third dimension, Z. ICs consist of several layers which must register one with the other to a precision of better than 10 um(250 nm). To provide geometries of the order of one or two microns, very-high-resolution optics are necessary. Because integrated circuits are very susceptible to defects, the ultimate in cleanliness and temperature control is required. 1, record 13, English, - photomask%20making

A strange attractor is an attractor for which the iterates Xn</sub> depend sensitively on the initial X0</sub> that is, arbitrarily close initial values will become macroscopically separated for a sufficiently large N. Strange attractors are fractal dusts with a fractal dimension smaller than the Euclidean dimension of the embedding space. 2, record 16, English, - strange%20attractor

Objet mathématique à structure transverse fractale extrêmement enchevêtrée qui consiste en une infinité de points, chacun d'eux représentant un état du système turbulent considéré, et dont la dimension reste basse (et souvent, fractionnaire) même lorsque l'espace des phases du système possède une grande dimension, parfois infinie. Les trajectoires de phase sont attirées vers l'attracteur; les paires de trajectoires initialement voisines divergent rapidement sur l'attracteur étrange. 2, record 16, French, - attracteur%20%C3%A9trange

Concept découvert par S. Smale et utilisé en 1971 par D. Ruelle et F. Takens pour montrer que chaos peut survenir dès qu'un système dynamique comporte au moins trois paramètres. Contrairement aux attracteurs des systèmes non turbulents, un attracteur étrange est infiniment sensible aux conditions initiales. Selon B. Mandelbrot (1983:197), dans la plupart des cas, un attracteur est étrange lorsqu'il est fractal, mais la réciproque n'est pas nécessairement vraie. L'étrange présuppose des propriétés topologiques inhabituelles auxquelles peuvent s'ajouter des propriétés fractales inhabituelles. 2, record 16, French, - attracteur%20%C3%A9trange
