Flexible Histograms: A Multiresolution Texture Discrimination Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Motivation: The notion of texture is difficult to capture formally. Textures are usually the output of some random physical process wherein local structure is repeated seemingly at random and there is a lack of global structure. So, while the fur of a leopard is considered to be a texture, the entire leopard is not. This distinction is unavoidably arbitrary. We present an approach to texture recognition that is successful at modeling random repeating textures such as fur or bark and which naturally and automatically extends to structural patterns of many scales.

Flexible Histograms: A Multiresolution Target Discrimination Model
In previous work we have developed a methodology for texture recognition and synthesis that estimates and exploits the dependencies across scale that occur within images.1,2 In this paper we discuss the application of this technique to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) vehicle classification. Our approachmeasures characteristic cross-scale dependencies in training imagery; targets are recognized w...
متن کاملMultiresolution Histograms and their Use for Texture Classification
The histogram of image intensities is used extensively for the retrieval of images from visual databases. An obvious way to extend this feature is to compute the histograms of multiple resolutions of an image. Both this extension and the plain histogram are fast to compute, space efficient, invariant to rigid motions, and robust to noise. In addition, the histograms over multiple image resoluti...
متن کاملA spectral histogram model for texton modeling and texture discrimination
We suggest a spectral histogram, defined as the marginal distribution of filter responses, as a quantitative definition for a texton pattern. By matching spectral histograms, an arbitrary image can be transformed to an image with similar textons to the observed. We use the chi(2)-statistic to measure the difference between two spectral histograms, which leads to a texture discrimination model. ...
متن کاملA Spectral Histogram Model for Textons and Texture Discrimination
Based on a local spatial/frequency representation, the spectral histogram of an image is defined as the marginal distribution of responses from a bank of filters. We propose the spectral histogram as a quantitative definition for textons. The spectral histogram model avoids rectification and spatial pooling, two commonly assumed stages in texture discrimination models. By matching spectral hist...
متن کاملMultiresolution MRF-based texture segmentation using the Wreath Product Transform phase
In this paper, we bring local phase and multiresolution analysis to the texture segmentation problem. A Markov random eld characterization is still employed, except it is used to model phase correlations rather than intensity correlations. Since statistical characteristics of phase are typically quite diierent to those of intensity, there exists the potential for creating greater discrimination...
