基于Gabor特征的稀疏表示纹理分割研究

稀疏表示和字典学习在图像去噪、图像重建和模式识别等应用上取得了良好的效果,其利用稀疏系数和重构误差来作为模式分类的判别准则。稀疏表示纹理分割方法是将图像分割问题转换为像素点的分类问题。但通常稀疏表示分类方法是基于图像块特征,难以准确表征图像纹理信息。为了解决上述问题,提出基于Gabor特征的稀疏表示纹理分割方法。因为Gabor特征对图像纹理信息的鲁棒性,算法首先从每类纹理中选择一些像素点作为训练样本,计算其不同尺度和方向下的Gabor特征,将其作为初始化字典,通过判别性的字典学习算法(D-KSVD)更新字典,该字典学习算法在KSVD基础上使得字典更具有类别判别能力,最后以待分割图像的每个像素点作为测试样本,计算其Gabor特征。利用OMP算法得到测试样本在字典下的稀疏系数,根据稀疏系数得到类标签,进而对像素点进行分类,完成分割。通过在Brodatz纹理库上的实验结果表明,该方法有效提高了稀疏表示算法对纹理图像分割的正确率。

Optimal Gabor filters for texture segmentation

Texture segmentation involves subdividing an image into differently textured regions. Many texture segmentation schemes are based on a filter-bank model, where the filters, called Gabor filters, are derived from Gabor elementary functions. The goal is to transform texture differences into detectable filter-output discontinuities at texture boundaries. By locating these discontinuities, one can segment the image into differently textured regions. Distinct discontinuities occur, however, only if the Gabor filter parameters are suitably chosen. Some previous analysis has shown how to design filters for discriminating simple textures. Designing filters for more general natural textures, though, has largely been done ad hoc. We have devised a more rigorously based method for designing Gabor filters. It assumes that an image contains two different textures and that prototype samples of the textures are given a priori. We argue that Gabor filter outputs can be modeled as Rician random variables (often approximated well as Gaussian rv's) and develop a decision-theoretic algorithm for selecting optimal filter parameters. To improve segmentations for difficult texture pairs, we also propose a multiple-filter segmentation scheme, motivated by the Rician model. Experimental results indicate that our method is superior to previous methods in providing useful Gabor filters for a wide range of texture pairs.     

Integrated active contours for texture segmentation.

We address the issue of textured image segmentation in the context of the Gabor feature space of images. Gabor filters tuned to a set of orientations, scales and frequencies are applied to the images to create the Gabor feature space. A two-dimensional Riemannian manifold of local features is extracted via the Beltrami framework. The metric of this surface provides a good indicator of texture changes and is used, therefore, in a Beltrami-based diffusion mechanism and in a geodesic active contours algorithm for texture segmentation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the edgeless active contours algorithm applied for texture segmentation. Moreover, an integrated approach, extending the geodesic and edgeless active contours approaches to texture segmentation, is presented. We show that combining boundary and region information yields more robust and accurate texture segmentation results.

Design-based texture feature fusion using Gabor filters and co-occurrence probabilities.

A design-based method to fuse Gabor filter and grey level co-occurrence probability (GLCP) features for improved texture recognition is presented. The fused feature set utilizes both the Gabor filter's capability of accurately capturing lower and mid-frequency texture information and the GLCP's capability in texture information relevant to higher frequency components. Evaluation methods include comparing feature space separability and comparing image segmentation classification rates. The fused feature sets are demonstrated to produce higher feature space separations, as well as higher segmentation accuracies relative to the individual feature sets. Fused feature sets also outperform individual feature sets for noisy images, across different noise magnitudes. The curse of dimensionality is demonstrated not to affect segmentation using the proposed the 48-dimensional fused feature set. Gabor magnitude responses produce higher segmentation accuracies than linearly normalized Gabor magnitude responses. Feature reduction using principal component analysis is acceptable for maintaining the segmentation performance, but feature reduction using the feature contrast method dramatically reduced the segmentation accuracy. Overall, the designed fused feature set is advocated as a means for improving texture segmentation performance.     

Segmentation of kidney from ultrasound images based on texture and shape priors

This paper presents a novel texture and shape priors based method for kidney segmentation in ultrasound (US) images. Texture features are extracted by applying a bank of Gabor filters on test images through a two-sided convolution strategy. The texture model is constructed via estimating the parameters of a set of mixtures of half-planed Gaussians using the expectation-maximization method. Through this texture model, the texture similarities of areas around the segmenting curve are measured in the inside and outside regions, respectively. We also present an iterative segmentation framework to combine the texture measures into the parametric shape model proposed by Leventon and Faugeras. Segmentation is implemented by calculating the parameters of the shape model to minimize a novel energy function. The goal of this energy function is to partition the test image into two regions, the inside one with high texture similarity and low texture variance, and the outside one with high texture variance. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated through experimental results on both natural images and US data compared with other image segmentation methods and manual segmentation.     

Analysis of multichannel narrow-band filters for image texturesegmentation

A model for texture analysis and segmentation using multiple oriented channel filters is analyzed in the general framework. Several different arguments are applied leading to the conclusion that the two-dimensional Gabor filters possess strong optimality properties for this task. Properties of the multiple-channel segmentation approach are analyzed. In particular, perturbations of textures from an ideal model are found to have important effects on the segmentation that can usually be ameliorated by simply preceding the segmentation process by a logarithmic operation and using a low-pass postfilter prior to making region assignments. The difficult problems of space-variant textures and multiple component textures are also considered. Local spatial frequency estimation approaches are suggested that use the responses as constraints in estimating the locally emergent texture frequencies. Complex texture aggregates containing multiple shared frequency components can be analyzed if the textures are distinct and few in number
