Applications

As described above, random fractals can be used to describe many highly irregular real-world objects. Other applications of fractals include:[13]

    * Classification of histopathology slides in medicine
    * Fractal landscape or Coastline complexity
    * Enzyme/enzymology (Michaelis-Menten kinetics)
    * Generation of new music
    * Signal and image compression
    * Creation of digital photographic enlargements
    * Seismology
    * Fractal in soil mechanics
    * Computer and video game design, especially computer graphics for organic environments and as part of procedural generation
    * Fractography and fracture mechanics
    * Fractal antennas – Small size antennas using fractal shapes
    * Small angle scattering theory of fractally rough systems
    * T-shirts and other fashion
    * Generation of patterns for camouflage, such as MARPAT
    * Digital sundial
    * Technical analysis of price series (see Elliott wave principle)
