Abstract:
We address the problem of texture classification. Random walks are simulated for plane domains bounded by absorbing boundaries Γ, and the absorption distributions are estimated. Measurements derived from the above distributions are the features used for texture classification. Experiments using such a model have been performed and the results showed a rate of accuracy of 89.7% for a data set consisting of one hundred and twenty-eight textured images equally distributed among thirty-two classes of textures.
