A 2D wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method is used to characterise the complexity of the distribution of the photospheric magnetic field of active regions. The WTMM method offers increased accuracy and reliability over previous fractal and multifractal methods. The multifractal spectrum of both quiet Sun and active region magnetic features are presented. It is shown that the multifractal nature of the quiet Sun is significantly different from that of an active region. As such, a method is proposed to seperate the information corresponding to the multifractal spectrum of an active region from the surrounding quite Sun texture. The WTMM method and segmentation procedure are shown to detect the internal restructuring of active region magnetic features prior to flaring. We detect two thresholds (Haussdorf dimension > 1.2 and Holder Exponent > -0.7) as possible indicators for conditions favourable to flaring.
