Simplified Texture Spectrum for Texture Analysis
Dong-Chen He, Li Wang · Journal of Communication and Computer · 2010
The authors proposed the texture unit-based texture spectrum approach in 1990, which has been used for texture analysis, including texture characterization, texture classification, texture edge detection, and textural filtering. One of the most important disadvantages related to this method is the large number of texture units (6.561) and its redundancy. This paper aims at simplifying the original texture spectrum by reducing the 6.561 texture units into only 15 units without significant loss of discriminating power. Promising results are presented here via several experimental investigations over some of Brodatz's natural texture images.
