Texture Energy Tensor for Texture Discrimination
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new, computationally inexpensive, approach to texture recognition and segmentation is proposed based on a discriminating quantity called the texture energy tensor (TET). The TET is defined as the sum over a window of the products of pixel pairs at fixed vector displacement. For mathematical textures the TET gives easy to interpret results. Texture classification and segmentation using Laws masks or "tuned masks" and "texture energy" is shown to be a special case of a TET approach.

A TV flow based local scale estimate and its application to texture discrimination
This paper presents a local region based scale measure, which exploits properties of a certain type of nonlinear diffusion, the so-called total variation (TV) flow. During the signal evolution by means of TV flow, pixels change their value with a speed that is inversely proportional to the size of the region they belong to. From this evolution speed one can derive a local scale estimate based o...
متن کاملTexture Recognition by Fusion of Optimized Moment Based and Gabor Energy Features
Use of a single technique for the extraction of diverse features in a texture image usually shows limited capabilities for texture description. Texture features extracted using different techniques can be merged in an attempt to enhance their texture description capability. This paper explores the fusion of optimized moment and Gabor energy texture features. The Fisher linear discriminant analy...

متن کاملTransform Features for Texture Classification and Discrimination in Large Image Databases
This paper proposes a method for classification and discrimination of textures based on the energies of image subbands. We show that even with this relatively simple feature set, effective texture discrimination can be achieved. In this paper, subbandenergy feature sets extracted from the following typical image decompositions are compared: wavelet subband, uniform subband, discrete cosine tran...
متن کاملTexture Analysis and Indexing Using Gabor-like Hermite Filters
In this paper, we study texture discrimination based on two filter families, Gabor and Hermite, which agree with the Gaussian derivative model of the human visual system. In the first part, discrimination of different textures, based on the output energy of these filters, is compared using the Fisher criterion and classification result. Results show that the presented filter bank is suitable fo...
