The paper considers the question of evaluating the informativeness of a new image tex-ture fractal feature – a directed morphological multifractal signature. Experimental studies were carried out to determine the efficiency of synthesized and real images automated segmentation by the fuzzy c-means algorithm using the developed feature. The obtained results testify to a higher accuracy of image segmentation achieved by using a new texture-fractal feature. Conclusions are drawn about the need to optimize the developed algorithm in order to reduce computational costs.
