Two classes of models have been proposed to explain how the visual system processes texture modulations. In 'feature models', abstract representations of the featural properties of local texture regions (eg orientation, spatial frequency, contrast) are first generated, after which differences in individual feature properties across space are detected. In 'energy models', on the other hand, diff...

This paper describes two examples of real-life applications of texture segmentation using M-band wavelets. In the first part of the paper, an efficient and computationally fast method for segmenting text and graphics part of a document image based on textural cues is presented. It is logical to assume that the graphics part has different textural properties than the non-graphics (text) part. So...

Texture plays an important role in numerous computer vision applications. Many methods for describing and analyzing of textured surfaces have been proposed. Variations in the appearance of texture caused by changing illumination and imaging conditions, for example, set high requirements on different analysis methods. In addition, real-world applications tend to produce a great deal of complex t...

Hand cream is used for rehydrating and improving skin properties. The skin is the first point of contact with the environment. Thus having healthy skin with proper barrier properties is quite important. The beneficial effects of fish oil on skin make it a favorable ingredient to be used in hand care products. In the present study, the efficacy and stability of various hand cream formulations us...

The objective of this study was to assess the relationship betweenvegetation, landform and physicochemical properties of soil. At the first terrainmap unit were provided using the landsat thematic mapper (TM) satellite images,aerial photograph, topographical and geology map. Field sampling was done in therepresentative area using plot sampling. 104 plots 100 m2 were sampled in eachplot landform...

In this paper, a new fusion texture feature with orthogonal polynomials based multiresolution subband and the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is presented. The proposed orthogonal polynomials based multiresolution subband coefficients posses the localized frequency information and the GLCM matrices capture the structural and statistical properties from the subband coefficients for charac...

Most investigations of object recognition have focused on the form rather than the material properties of objects. Nevertheless, knowledge of the material properties of an object (via its surface cues) can provide important information about that object's identity. In this study, we used Garner's speeded-classification task to explore whether or not the processing of form and the processing of ...

Texture segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into regions with different textures containing a similar group of pixels. Detecting the discontinuity of the filter's output and their statistical properties help in segmenting and classifying a given image with different texture regions. In this proposed paper, chili x-ray image texture segmentation is performed by using Gabor filte...

In this paper, logical operators are used for analyzing texture properties and an algorithm is presented for texture image classification. Operators constructed from logical building blocks are convolved with texture images. An optimal set of six operators are selected based on their texture discrimination ability. The responses are then converted to standard deviation matrices computed over a ...
