Efficient Gabor filter design for texture segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gabor lters have been successfully applied to a broad range of image processing tasks. The present paper considers the design of a single lter to segment a two-texture image. A new e cient algorithm for Gaborlter design is presented, along with methods for estimating lter output statistics. The algorithm draws upon previous results that showed that the output of a Gaborltered texture is modeled well by a Rician distribution. A measure of the total output power is used to select the center frequency of the lter and is used to estimate the Rician statistics of the Gaborltered image. The method is further generalized to include the statistics of post ltered outputs that are generated by a Gaussian ltering operation following the Gabor lter. The new method typically requires an order of magnitude less computation to design a lter than a previously proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate the e cacy of the method.

Classification of Endometrial Images for Aiding the Diagnosis of Hyperplasia Using Logarithmic Gabor Wavelet
Introduction: The process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. One of the main features called Volume Percentage of Stroma (VPS) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. Currently, this feature is calculated ...
متن کاملThe Design of Multiple Gabor Filters for Segmenting Multiple Textures
Gabor filters have been successfully employed in texture segmentation problems, yet a general multi-filter multi-texture Gabor filter design procedure has not been offered. To this end, we first present a multichannel paradigm that provides a mathematical framework for the design of the filters. The paradigm establishes relationships between the predicted texture-segmentation error, the power s...

متن کاملDesigning Multiple Gabor Filters for Multi-Texture Image Segmentation
We consider the problem of segmenting multitextured images using multiple Gabor filters. In particular, we present a mathematical framework for a multichannel texture-segmentation system consisting of a parallel bank of filter channels, a vector classifier stage, and a postprocessing stage. The framework establishes mathematical relationships between the predicted texture-segmentation error, th...
