Fractal analysis and the calculation of fractal dimension offer the potential for the numerical characterisation of places by providing a synthetic measurement of place complexity. This paper provides a fractal analysis of street vistas linking the calculation of fractal dimension to the perception of levels of visual variety present in everyday urban streets. A technique for calculating street vista fractal dimensions of textures extracted from greyscale images is presented, and correlations between the resultant fractal dimension and scores for perceived visual variety are discussed.
