Spatial Morphological Covariance Applied to Texture Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphological covariance, one of the most frequently employed texture analysis tools offered by mathematical morphology, makes use of the sum of pixel values, i.e. “volume” of its input. In this paper, we investigate the potential of alternative measures to volume, and extend the work of Wilkinson (ICPR’02) in order to obtain a new covariance operator, more sensitive to spatial details, namely the spatial covariance. The classification experiments are conducted on the publicly available Outex 14 texture database, where the proposed operator leads not only to higher classification scores than standard covariance, but also to the best results reported so far for this database when combined with an adequate illumination invariance model.

Spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images by combining hierarchical and marker-based Minimum Spanning Forest algorithms
Many researches have demonstrated that the spatial information can play an important role in the classification of hyperspectral imagery. This study proposes a modified spectral–spatial classification approach for improving the spectral–spatial classification of hyperspectral images. In the proposed method ten spatial/texture features, using mean, standard deviation, contrast, homogeneity, corr...
متن کاملOn morphological color texture characterization
We investigate the combined use of multiple structuring elements with the standard morphological texture characterization tools, namely morphological covariance and granulometry. The resulting operator is applied to both grayscale and color images in the context of texture classi cation. As to its extension to color texture data, it is realized by means of a weighting based reduced vector order...

Semantic labeling is an active field in remote sensing applications. Although handling high detailed objects in Very High Resolution (VHR) optical image and VHR Digital Surface Model (DSM) is a challenging task, it can improve the accuracy of semantic labeling methods. In this paper, a semantic labeling method is proposed by fusion of optical and normalized DSM data. Spectral and spatial featur...
متن کاملIllumination-Invariant Morphological Texture Classification
We investigate the use of the standard morphological texture characterisation methods, the granulometry and the variogram, in the task of texture classification. These methods are applied to both colour and greyscale texture images. We also introduce a method for minimising the effect of different illumination conditions and show that its use leads to improved classification. The classification...
متن کاملCombination of Object-based and Pixel-based Image Analysis for Classification of Vhr Imagery over Urban Areas
Although spatial measures such as texture and shape extracted from very high resolution imagery (VHR) have been successfully employed in pixel-based classifications, the effectiveness of such measures in classification mainly depends on the optimal window size in which spatial measures are calculated. However, an optimal window size is usually subjective and varies for different image and diffe...
