Abstract. Results of the study of images with fractal nature as a type of visual stimulations in light therapy are presented. A comparative analysis of dynamic images of the urban landscape obtained using an optoelectronic system, objects of natural environment, and laser abstract dynamic images is performed with subsequent allocation of contours using a modified boundary detector. Calculation of the ratio of the fractal dimension D performed for images of different categories, shows that for laser-abstract dynamic images D = 1,33 ± 0,02; this allows one to use them in the form of a visual series as the basis of visual therap.
