Abstract: This paper is an attempt to assess more precisely the scope of the multifractal approach for textural characterization. We perform a series of numerical experiments to reconstruct black and white images from the multiscale moments of a measure defined by a reference image. The reconstructed images, obtained by simulated annealing, have multifractal statistics identical to the reference image. A comparison of the reconstructions with the related reference image reveals some of the strengths and limitations of the multifractal characterization.
