In Search of Textons
نویسنده
چکیده
Texture analysis and synthesis has been studied extensively by many vision and graphics researchers. A very useful concept in texture analysis is texton or the basic element of a texture image. However, it remains unclear how to define a texton despite the fact that Julesz proposed the term ”texton” more than twenty years ago. In this talk, I will propose a two-level statistical model with textons and their distribution for texture analysis and synthesis, with the emphasis on how to define textons computationally. Specifically, I will present our recent work on searching for 2D textons in patch-based texture synthesis (ACM ToG, July 2001), 3D textons in Bi-directional texture function (BTF) synthesis (Siggraph’2002) and 1D motion textons in motion texture synthesis (Siggraph’2002).

Texton-based Texture Classification
Over the last decade, several studies on texture analysis propose to model texture as a probabilistic process that generates small texture patches. In these studies, texture is represented by means of a frequency histogram that measures how often texture patches from a codebook occur in the texture. In the codebook, the texture patches are represented by, e.g., a collection of filter bank respo...
متن کاملFace Recognition with Local Gabor Textons
This paper proposes a novel face representation and recognition method based on local Gabor textons. Textons, defined as a vocabulary of local characteristic features, are a good description of the perceptually distinguishable micro-structures on objects. In this paper, we incorporate the advantages of Gabor feature and textons strategy together to form Gabor textons. And for the specificity of...
متن کاملColor Textons for Texture Recognition
Texton models have proven to be very discriminative for the recognition of grayvalue images taken from rough textures. To further improve the discriminative power of the distinctive texton models of Varma and Zisserman (VZ model) (IJCV, vol. 62(1), pp. 61-81, 2005), we propose two schemes to exploit color information. First, we incorporate color information directly at the texton level, and app...
متن کاملColor Textons for Building Detection
Textons are known to be powerful operators in capturing textural properties of image regions. This paper proposes a new method to consistently combine structural cues as well as color information in an unified framework of color textons. They are used as features to detect buildings from optical imagery. Despite the simple classification algorithm, presented results are promising and show the u...
متن کاملStructured Textons for Texture Classification
In this paper, we are proposing a novel texture descriptor, Structured Texton, for image representation. By exploring the local structure existed in the meaningful texture patterns, the structured textons are constructed by the nesting relationship between the different scale local extrema regions, which characterizes not only the local appearance features but also the geometric information. Fu...
