This paper uses theory, simulation, and laboratory experiment, to show that directional illumination, used during the image acquisition process, acts as a directional filter of three dimensional texture. It is shown that the directional characteristics of image texture are not intrinsic to the physical texture being imaged, as they are affected by the direction of the illumination. This result ...

The goal of this research was to develop algorithms for synthesis of specific textures in multi-spectral images. In plain terms, we started with an image of grass texture (64 by 64 pixels), in fact, 42 images of the same area in different spectral wavelengths (including the visible spectrum) (see Figure 1 for an example). The goal was to create a similar multispectral image, which would look li...

Volume rendering with texture mapping hardware is a fast volume rendering method available on high-end workstations. However, limited texture memory often prevents the method from being used to render large volume data efficiently. In this paper, we propose a new approach to fast rendering of large volume data with texture mapping hardware. Based on a new volume-loading pipeline, the volume dat...

The present study was undertaken to develop a modified texture analysis algorithm based on the properties of texture spectrum (TS) domain for the satellite images. In texture analysis some specific spatial filters are required, which can transform the image based on the textural features instead of changing the spectral properties; the image is thus characterized by its texture spectrum. This p...

Human and macaque observers can detect and discriminate visual forms defined by differences in texture. The neurophysiological correlates of visual texture perception are not well understood and have not been studied extensively at the single-neuron level in the primate brain. We used a novel family of texture patterns to measure the selectivity of neurons in extrastriate cortical area V2 of th...

A new approach to texture segmentation is presented which uses Local Binary Pattern data to provide evidence from which pixels can be classified into texture classes. The proposed algorithm, which we contend to be the first use of evidence gathering in the field of texture classification, uses Generalised Hough Transform style R-tables as unique descriptors for each texture class and an accumul...

in this study, the effects of moisture content and corn variety on the physicochemical properties of popcorn were investigated and modeled using response surface methodology. each of the two corn varieties (hybrid corn ksc 600 pc and american) was prepared with a range of moisture (six moisture levels ranging from 10 to 20%) and popped by a hot air popper. variety and moisture content affected ...

Everyday objects are often composed of multiple parts, each with a unique surface texture. The neural substrates mediating the integration of surface features on different object parts are not fully understood, and potential contributions by both the ventral and dorsal visual pathways are possible. To explore these substrates, we collected fMRI data while human participants performed a differen...

Texture plays an important role in visual information processing since texture provides useful information about shape, orientation, and depth of the objects. The human visual system utilizes texture without difficulty as one of the visual cues for image interpretation, scene analysis and object recognition. However, to extract and to analyze texture are difficult tasks in machine perception in...
