Multiscale texture classification using dual-tree complex wavelet transform

This paper presents a multiscale texture classifier that exploits the Gabor-like properties of the dual-tree complex wavelet transform, shift invariance and 6 directional subbands at each scale, and uses a feature vector comprising of a variance and an entropy at different scales of each of the directional subbands. Experimental results demonstrate its robustness against noise and a higher classification accuracy than a discrete wavelet transform based classifier.
