Grating cell operator features for oriented texture segmentation
P. Kruizinga, Nikolay Petkov · 2002
The performance of two well-known texture operators (based on Gabor-energy and the cooccurrence matrix) is compared with the performance of a new, biologically motivated texture operator, the grating cell operator, previously proposed by the authors (1995, 1997). The comparison is made using a new quantitative method, based on the Fisher criterion (1923). The results show the clear superiority of the new operator in oriented texture problems.
