Morphometric relations of fractal-skeletal based channel network model

Morphometric relations of fractal-skeletal based channel network model

A fractal-skeletal based channel network (F-SCN) model is proposed. Four regular sided initiator-basins are transformed as second order fractal basins by following a specific generating mechanism with non-random rule. The morphological skeletons, hereafter referred to as channel networks, are extrac...
