Abstract:

It is shown that isolines of the slopes of the sea surface are fractal curves and can be characterized by a fractional dimension, and the fractional dimension is determined by the exponent of the rises in the surface. It is shown that for a monotonic "slope-brightness" transfer function the isolines of the image can be related to the solines of the surface. The dependence of the fractal dimension of the isolines on the spectral index p is obtained for a two-dimensional isotropic random field. The inverse function, which makes it possible to evaluate the spectrum of the surface from the fractal dimension of the isolines, is constructed.
