Texture Segmentation Using Neural Networks and Multi-scale Wavelet Features

This paper presents a novel texture segmentation method using Bayesian estimation and neural networks. Multi-scale wavelet coefficients and the context information extracted from neighboring wavelet coefficients were used as input for the neural networks. The output was modeled as a posterior probability. The context information was obtained by HMT (Hidden Markov Trees) model. The proposed segmentation method shows performed better than ML (Maximum Likelihood) segmentation using the HMT model.
