Grating cell operator features for oriented texture segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of two well-known texture operators (based on Gabor-energy and the cooccurrence matrix) is compared with the performance of a new, biologically motivated texture operator, the grating cell operator, which was proposed elsewhere by the authors. The comparison is made using a new quantitative method, based on the Fisher criterion. Together with some classification results comparison experiments the comparison shows a clear superiority of the new operator in oriented texture problems.

Nonlinear operator for blob texture segmentation
Texture is an important part of the visual world of animals and men and their visual systems successfully detect, discriminate and segment texture. Relatively recently progress was made concerning structures in the brain which are presumably responsible for texture processing. Von der Heydt et al. (von der Heydt et al. 1992) reported on the discovery of a texture processing neuron in areas V1 a...
متن کاملComparison of Texture Features Based on Gabor Filters
Texture features that are based on the local power spectrum obtained by a bank of Gabor filters are compared. The features differ in the type of nonlinear post-processing which is applied to the local power spectrum. The following features are considered: Gabor energy, complex moments, and grating cell operator features. The capability of the corresponding operators to produce distinct feature ...

متن کاملFont identification using the grating cell texture operator
In this paper, a new feature extraction operator, the grating cell operator, is applied to analyze the texture features and classify fonts of scanned document images. This operator is compared with the isotropic Gabor filter which was also employed for font classification. In order to improve the performance, a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) classifier was applied and compared with the ...
متن کاملTowards Understanding Texture Processing
A fundamental goal of texture research is to develop automated computational methods for retrieving visual information and understanding image content based on textural properties in images. A synergy between biological and computer vision research in low-level vision can give substantial insights about the processes for extracting color, edge, motion, and spatial frequency information from ima...
