Abstract
The local fuzzy fractal dimension (LFFD) is proposed to extract local fractal feature of medical images. The definition of LFFD is an extension of the pixel-covering method by incorporating the fuzzy set. Multi-feature edge detection is implemented with the LFFD and the Sobel operator. The LFFD can also serve as a characteristic of motion in medical image sequences. The experimental results show that the LFFD is an important feature of edge areas in medical images and can provide information for segmentation of echocardiogram image sequences.Mesh：
