Texture Classification Using Nonparametric Markov Random Fields

چکیده
We present a nonparametric Markov Random Field model for classifying texture in images. This model can capture the characteristics of a wide variety of textures, varying from the highly structured to the stochastic. The power of our modelling technique is evident in that only a small training image is required, even when the training texture contains long range characteristics. We show how this model can be used for unsupervised segmentation and classification of images containing textures for which we have no prior knowledge of the constituent texture types. This technique can therefore be used to find a specific texture in a background of unknown textures.

Texture Classification using Non-Parametric Markov Random Fields
This thesis investigates texture classification using Non-Parametric Markov Random fields. Texture models using local image descriptors are investigated. Classification performance using such models is then reported upon and the results are used to guide development of future classifiers which take account of scale information within an image. The issues and effects of scale within texture mode...

متن کاملTexture synthesis via a noncausal nonparametric multiscale Markov random field
Our noncausal, nonparametric, multiscale, Markov random field (MRF) model is capable of synthesizing and capturing the characteristics of a wide variety of textures, from the highly structured to the stochastic. We use a multiscale synthesis algorithm incorporating local annealing to obtain larger realizations of texture visually indistinguishable from the training texture.

This paper describes method for analysis of the texture created by retinal nerve fibers (RNF) via Markov Random Fields. The Causal Autoregressive Random (CAR) model is used to create a feature vector describing the changes in texture due to losses in RNF layer. It is shown that features based on CAR model can be used for discrimination between healthy and glaucomatous tissue using simple linear...
متن کاملRotation invariant texture descriptors based on Gaussian Markov random fields for classification
Local Parameter Histograms (LPH) based on Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs) have been successfully used in effective texture discrimination. LPH features represent the normalized histograms of locally estimated GMRF parameters via local linear regression. However, these features are not rotation invariant. In this paper two techniques to design rotation invariant LPH texture descriptors are...
