Integrated approach to texture segmentation using multiple Gabor filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an integrated approach using multiple Gabor filters for the segmentation of multi-textured images. The approach includes both the design of the constituent Gabor filters and the design of the classifier and postprocessing. The classifier uses a mixture density to reduce localization error at texture boundaries, and the postprocessing uses morphological operators to remove spurious misclassifications at texture boundaries. Results are presented that confirm the efficacy of the postprocessing methods and the overall integrated approach.

The Design of Multiple Gabor Filters for Segmenting Multiple Textures
Gabor filters have been successfully employed in texture segmentation problems, yet a general multi-filter multi-texture Gabor filter design procedure has not been offered. To this end, we first present a multichannel paradigm that provides a mathematical framework for the design of the filters. The paradigm establishes relationships between the predicted texture-segmentation error, the power s...

Introduction: The process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. One of the main features called Volume Percentage of Stroma (VPS) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. Currently, this feature is calculated ...

متن کاملDesigning Multiple Gabor Filters for Multi-Texture Image Segmentation
We consider the problem of segmenting multitextured images using multiple Gabor filters. In particular, we present a mathematical framework for a multichannel texture-segmentation system consisting of a parallel bank of filter channels, a vector classifier stage, and a postprocessing stage. The framework establishes mathematical relationships between the predicted texture-segmentation error, th...
