Abstract The issues of joint estimation of the scaling, singular, multifractal, and anisotropic properties of image texture are considered. A technique for forming a fundamentally new class of topological textural-multifractal descriptors for joint estimation of various fractal properties of a texture is described. The efficiency of segmentation of real radar and optical images by the Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithms in the space of the proposed class of descriptors is estimated. Based on the results and their comparison with the accuracy of segmentation by the existing descriptor, the conclusion about the higher informativity of the new class of topological fractal descriptors is made.
