Radon transform orientation estimation for rotation invariant texture analysis

This paper presents a new approach to rotation invariant texture classification. The proposed approach benefits from the fact that most of the texture patterns either have directionality (anisotropic textures) or are not with a specific direction (isotropic textures). The wavelet energy features of the directional textures change significantly when the image is rotated. However, for the isotropic images, the wavelet features are not sensitive to rotation. Therefore, for the directional textures, it is essential to calculate the wavelet features along a specific direction. In the proposed approach, the Radon transform is first employed to detect the principal direction of the texture. Then, the texture is rotated to place its principal direction at 0 degrees. A wavelet transform is applied to the rotated image to extract texture features. This approach provides a features space with small intraclass variability and, therefore, good separation between different classes. The performance of the method is evaluated using three texture sets. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed approach compared with some existing methods.     

Noise- and compression-robust biological features for texture classification

Texture classification is an important aspect of many digital image processing applications such as surface inspection, content-based image retrieval, and biomedical image analysis. However, noise and compression artifacts in images cause problems for most texture analysis methods. This paper proposes the use of features based on the human visual system for texture classification using a semisupervised, hierarchical approach. The texture feature consists of responses of cells which are found in the visual cortex of higher primates. Classification experiments on different texture libraries indicate that the proposed features obtain a very high classification near 97%. In contrast to other well-established texture analysis methods, the experiments indicate that the proposed features are more robust to various levels of speckle and Gaussian noise. Furthermore, we show that the classification rate of the textures using the presented biologically inspired features is hardly affected by image compression techniques.     

The Use of Boolean Model for Texture Analysis of Grey Images

We generalize here the use of the 1D Boolean model for the analysis of grey level textures. Each grey image is first split into eight binary images using different criteria. Each of these binary images is separately analysed with the help of the 1D Boolean model and features are extracted from it. The final grey texture recognition is performed on the basis of these features using several classification criteria. Experiments have been carried out using an image database of 30 grey level textures, all of them with 512×512 pixels in size, obtaining correct classification rates between 95% and 100%, according to the classification criterion used.

Texture classification using wavelet transform

Today, texture analysis plays an important role in many tasks, ranging from remote sensing to medical imaging and query by content in large image data bases. The main difficulty of texture analysis in the past was the lack of adequate tools to characterize different scales of textures effectively. The development in multi-resolution analysis such as Gabor and wavelet transform help to overcome this difficulty. This paper describes the texture classification using (i) wavelet statistical features, (ii) wavelet co-occurrence features and (iii) a combination of wavelet statistical features and co-occurrence features of one level wavelet transformed images with different feature databases. It is found that, the results of later method are promising.

A Model-Based Method for Rotation Invariant Texture Classification

This paper presents a new model-based approach for texture classification which is rotation invariant, i.e., the recognition accuracy is not affected if the orientation of the test texture is different from the orientation of the training samples. The method uses three statistical features, two of which are obtained from a new parametric model of the image called a ``circular symmetric autoregressive model.' Two of the proposed features have physical interpretation in terms of the roughness and directionality of the texture. The results of several classification experiments on differently oriented samples of natural textures including both microtextures and macrotextures are presented.

A new approach for rotation-invariant and noise-resistant texture analysis and classification

The analysis and classification of images, such as texture images, is one of the substantial and important fields in image processing. Due to destructive effects of image rotation and noise, the stability and efficiency of texture analysis and classification methods are an important research area. In this paper, a new method for texture analysis and classification has been proposed which is based on a particular combination of wavelet, ridgelet and Fourier transforms as well as support vector machine. The proposed method has been evaluated for 13 texture datasets produced by three original datasets containing 25 and 111 original textures from Brodatz database and 24 original textures from OUTEX database. These datasets comprise 415584 and 93600 rotated noise-free and noisy texture images for Brodatz database and also 49920 noisy and 4320 noise-free texture images for OUTEX database, respectively. Simulation results demonstrate the capability, efficiency and also stability of the proposed method especially for real-time rotation-invariant and noise-resistant texture analysis and classification.

Texture classification using windowed Fourier filters

We define a distance between textures for texture classification from texture features based on windowed Fourier filters. The definition of the distance relies on an interpretation of our texture attributes in terms of spectral density when the texture can be considered as a Gaussian random field. The distance between textures is then defined as a symmetrized Kullback distance which is a simple function of the attributes and does not require any normalization. An experimental analysis using Gabor filters, and in particular a comparison to quadratic distances, shows the efficiency and robustness of the method     

Supervised texture classification using a probabilistic neuralnetwork and constraint satisfaction model

The texture classification problem is projected as a constraint satisfaction problem. The focus is on the use of a probabilistic neural network (PNN) for representing the distribution of feature vectors of each texture class in order to generate a feature-label interaction constraint. This distribution of features for each class is assumed as a Gaussian mixture model. The feature-label interactions and a set of label-label interactions are represented on a constraint satisfaction neural network. A stochastic relaxation strategy is used to obtain an optimal classification of textures in an image. The advantage of this approach is that all classes in an image are determined simultaneously, similar to human perception of textures in an image.     

A Simplified Gravitational Model for Texture Analysis

Textures are among the most important features in the field of image analysis. This paper presents an innovative methodology to extract information from them, converting an image into a simplified dynamical system in gravitational collapse process whose collapsing states are described by using the lacunarity method. The paper compares the proposed approach to other classical methods using Brodatz textures and a second texture database as benchmark. The best classification results using the standard parameters of the method were 97.00 % and 54.10 % of success rate (percentage of samples correctly classified) for both databases, respectively. These results prove that the presented approach is an efficient tool for texture analysis.     

Analysis of co‐occurrence and discrete wavelet transform textures for differentiation of forest and non‐forest vegetation in very‐high‐resolution optical‐sensor imagery

The extraction of texture features from high‐resolution remote sensing imagery provides a complementary source of data for those applications in which the spectral information is not sufficient for identification or classification of spectrally similar landscape features. This study presents the results of grey‐level co‐occurrence matrix (GLCM) and wavelet transform (WT) texture analysis for forest and non‐forest vegetation types differentiation in QuickBird imagery. Using semivariogram fitting, the optimal GLCM windows for the land cover classes within the scene were determined. These optimal window sizes were then applied to eight GLCM texture measures (mean, variance, homogeneity, dissimilarity, contrast, entropy, angular second moment, and correlation) for the scene classification. Using wavelet transformation, up to five levels of macro‐texture were computed and tested in the classification process. Comparing the classification results, (1) the spectral‐only bands classification gave an overall accuracy of 58.69%; (2) the statistically derived 21×21 optimal mean texture combined with spectral information gave the best results among the GLCM optimal windows with an accuracy of 73.70%; and (3) the combined optimal WT‐texture levels 4 and 5 gave an accuracy of 63.56%. The combined classification of these three optimal results gave an overall accuracy of 77.93%. The results indicate that even though vegetation texture was generally measured better by the GLCM‐mean texture (micro‐textures) than by WT‐derived texture (macro‐textures), the results show that the micro–macro texture combination would improve the differentiation and classification of the overall vegetation types. Overall, the results suggests that computer‐assisted classification of high‐spatial‐resolution remotely sensed imagery has a good potential to augment the present ground‐based forest inventory methods.     

An expert system based on wavelet transform and radon neural network for pavement distress classification

Nowadays, pavement distresses classification becomes more important, as the computational power increases. Recently, multi-resolution analysis such as wavelet decompositions provides very good multi-resolution analytical tools for different scales of pavement analysis and distresses classification. In this paper an expert system is proposed for pavement distress classification. A radon neural network, based on wavelet transform expert system is used for increasing the effectiveness of the scale invariant feature extraction algorithm. Wavelet modulus is calculated and Radon transform is then applied to the wavelet modulus. The features and parameters of the peaks are finally used for training and testing the neural network. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed expert system is an effective method for pavement distress classification. The test performances of this study show the advantages of proposed expert system: it is rapid, easy to operate, and have simple structure.
