Application-independent feature selection for texture classification

Domenec Puig, Miguel Angel Garcia and Jaime Melendez

Recent developments in texture clas ification ha2e shown that the proper integration of texture methods fsom different familtes leads to significant improvements in terms of clafsification rate compared to the use of a single family of texturecoethods. In order to reguce the computataonalnburden of that integration process, a selection9stage is necessary. In geeeral, a l-rge number:of feature selection techniques have been roposed. Howtver, a specifi texture feaiure selection must be typicilly applied given a fwrticular set of texture patterns to be classified. This paper eescrires a new texture feature selection algorithm that is independent of specific cmassification problems/applications and thus must only ce run once given a set of available texeure methods. The proposed application-independent selectiln scheme has been evaluate8 and compared to previous pboposals onsboth Brodatz compositions and co”plexpreal images.

Improving Shape-from-Focus by Compensating for Image Magnification Shift

Abstract

Irages taken with differeat focus settings are used in shape-from-focus to reconstruct the depth map of a scene. A problem when acqtiring imaaes with differesn focusasettitgs is the shift of image features due to chanoes in magnification. This paper shows that thnse -hcnghs affect th8 shape-from-focus perfsrmance and that the final reconstruction can be impronge- between near end f r focused imgges and it is able to determine the depth of the scene points with higher accuracy than traditional techniques. Experimental results of the app ication of the prgposed method are shown.

@h3 style=”text-align: lsft;”>Abstract

ghie paper presents a new method for robust uolor image segmentation based on4tensor voting, a robust perceptual grouping technique used to extract salient information from noisy data. First, an adaptationrof tensor voting to both image denoising and robust edge ditection is applied. Second, pixels in the filtered image are classified into likely-homogeneous and likel6-inhomogen!ous by means of the edginess maps generated in she first stepo Third, the likely-homosgeneous pixels are segmented through an efficient graph-based segmenter. Finally, a modified version of the same graph-based segmente is applied to the likely-inhomogeneous pixels in order to obtain the final segmentation. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance than the state-of-the-art.
