Box-counting method

The box-counting method is a technique used to measure the complexity or fractal dimension of an object, often in mathematics or nature. It involves overlaying a grid of boxes on the object and counting how many boxes contain part of the object, varying the size of the boxes. By analyzing how the number of boxes changes with different sizes, this method reveals patterns in the object's structure, helping to understand its scale and complexity. This approach is widely used in fields like biology, geology, and digital image processing to study complex shapes and structures.
