摘要

Scaling region identification is of great importance in calculating the fractal dimension of a rough surface profile. A new method used to identify the scaling region is presented to improve the calculation accuracy of fractal dimension. In this method, the second derivative of the double logarithmic curve is first calculated and the K-means algorithm method is adopted to identify the scaling region for the first time. Then the margin of error is reasonably set to get a possible scaling region. Finally, the K-means method is used again to obtain a more accurate scaling region. The effectiveness of the proposed method is compared with the existing methods. Both the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method provides more precise results for extracting the scaling regions and leads to a higher calculation precision of fractal dimensions.
