Fast Texture Segmentation using Genetic Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method which extends the use of genetic programming (GP) to a complex domain, texture segmentation. By this method, segmentation tasks are performed by texture classifiers which are evolved by GP. Small cutouts sampled from images of various textures are used for the evolution. The generated classifiers directly use pixel values as input. Based on these classifiers an algorithm which uses a voting strategy to partition texture regions is developed. The results of the investigation indicate that the proposed method is able to accurately identify the boundaries between different texture regions, even if the boundaries are not regular. The method can segment two textures as well as multiple textures. Furthermore fast segmentation can be achieved. The speed of the proposed texture segmentation method can be a hundred times faster than conventional methods.

Binary Genetic Programming Based Texture Segmentation
Introduction The texture is " A measure of the variation of the intensity of a surface, quantifying properties such as smoothness, coarseness, and regularity. " Textures are homogenous visual patterns in a scene such as grass, cloud, wood, and sand. Although the stated definition is an acceptable one, Zucker and Kant described the textures as: "Texture is an apparently paradoxical notion. On th...

The segmentation of colored texture images is considered. Either luminance, color, and/or texture features could be used for segmentation. For luminance and color the classes are described using the corresponding empirical probability distributions. The Discrete Wavelet Frames analysis is used for obtaining features of texture patterns. At a first stage, pattern analysis is performed for extrac...
متن کاملVisual Texture Classification and Segmentation by Genetic Programming
While there is a considerable history of work on visual texture, the definition of texture is still imprecise. However, it is generally agreed that a texture is spatially homogeneous and contains repeated visual patterns. In synthetic textures, such as horizontal lines, vertical lines or a checkerboard, the basic structure is repeated exactly. In natural textures, such as grass, wood, sand or r...
