============



Tools (C/Matlab) for multifractal analysis of 1D (time-series) and 2D (images) signals

---



The material herein provides with low-level image processing filters that can be used for multifractal experiments/analyses of signals and images.



**Description**



The code source files will enable you to reproduce some of the experiments mentioned in the references [below](References), namely for:

* multifractal analysis of signals/images using the so-called micro-wavelet,

* calculation of the multifractal singularity exponents and the multifractal spectrum,

* multifracal decomposition of signals/images,

* extraction of the so-called Most Singular Manifold,

* characterisation of the so-called chromatically reduced signal/image,

* multifractal reconstruction of signals/images.



See also [`singularity` project](https://github.com/gjacopo/singularity) for multifractal singularity analysis of 1D (time-series) signals.



**Usage**



To launch the programs:

* in `Matlab`, see also [`Contents.m`](matlab/Contents.m) for the whole list of functions; call [`run_multifractal.m`](matlab/run_multifractal.m) for an example of application; 

* in `C`, use the `Makefile` to build from source. 



**About**
