Abstract: 

Fractal analysis of natural self-similar structures has been considered. Different approaches to the analysis of abstract mathematical fractals and natural fractals have been described. Numerical method of the fractal dimension calculation has been suggested. This method has been applied both for the model fractal (Sierpinski carpet) and natural fractals ´ (Saratov ravine network).
