Comparison of Two Texture Retrieval Algorithms
Xin Wu Chen, Yi Shen, Shi Xin · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
Contourlet transform and wavelet have been widely used in image processing systems including texture image retrieval applications, and many literatures have reported how to construct the retrieval systems. Among them, generalize Gaussian distribution (GGD) model is a promising one. We will compare the algorithm with another one, which uses energy and standard deviation features and Canberra distance. Experimental results on 40 texture images from MIT vision database show that the latter one has higher retrieval rates for wavelet and contourlet transform retrieval systems, which indicate that the GGD model is not accurate for charactering texture feature.
