The following article gives certain considerations with regards to cell-size and offsets to calculate the box-counting dimension effectively.

Abstract:
The box-counting analysis is an appropriate method of fractal dimension estimation for images with or without self-similarity. However, this technique, including processing of the image and definition of the range of box sizes, requires a proper implementation to be effective in practice. The objectives of this study were thus (1) to determine how to prepare an image for box-counting analysis; (2) to define reasonable preferences for using the Fractal Dimension Calculator software; and (3) to develop a routine procedure for defining the most appropriate range of box sizes for any one-piece image. Four fractal images were chosen for this study: the Koch curve, Koch coastline, Koch boxes, and Cross-tree. Our results show that the skeletons provide better material for the box-counting method since only lines and/or curves are responsible for the fractal dimension value. In the procedure of box counting for fractal dimension estimation, the image must be surrounded by a four-square frame with the least possible area and the condition of linear relationship must be satisfied in a log–log plot. Fractal dimension is to be estimated over the minimum number of boxes covering the image for each box size, after superimposing a reasonable number of grid offsets. In many cases, 25% of the shorter image side may provide an appropriate value for largest box size. However, for noisy or dispersed patterns, a smaller box size than this is needed. In the log–log plot with 12 box sizes, some points corresponding to smaller box sizes deviate from the straight line from a certain point on. The box size corresponding to this breakpoint will provide an appropriate smallest box size. The exercise of determining the most appropriate range of box sizes must be performed repeatedly for every individual image.
