The aim of this paper is to introduce a new methodology for micro-pattern analysis in digital images. The gray-level pixels’ structure in an image neighborhood describes a spatial specific context. Edge, line, spot, blob, corner or texture can be described by this structure. The gray-level values of the image pixel are interpreted as a fuzzy set, and each pixel gray-level as a fuzzy number. A m...

This paper proposes a novel method for texture classification using high-order local pattern descriptor: Local Derivative Pattern (LDP). LDP is used to encode directional pattern features based on local derivative variations. The nth order LDP is proposed to encode the (n-1)th order local derivative direction variations, which can capture more detailed information. The local texture information...

Image hashing allows compression, enhancement or other signal processing operations on digital images which are usually acceptable manipulations. Whereas, cryptographic hash functions are very sensitive to even single bit changes in image. Image hashing is a sum of important quality features in quantized form. In this paper, we proposed a novel image hashing algorithm for authentication which i...
