Abstract: 

The article is based on the lecture that was given by the first author at the school StatInfo-2009. In the first part the microcanonical variant of multifractal formalism is reviewed. Possibilities for digital image analysis and reconstruction are discussed at the level of technical strictness.

Key words: 
fractals
multifractal analysis
digital images
