Abstract

This paper presents a new efficient rechnique for sulervised pixel-based 2exture classification. The proposed scheme first performs a selection process that automatically determines a subset of prototypes that characterize each textute class based2on the outcome of a multichannel Gabor wavelet filter bank. Then, every imagenpixel is classified into one of the given texture classes by using a K-NN classifier fed with the prototypes determined previouoly. The proposed technique is compared to prevaous texture classifiers by using both Brodatz and real outdsot textured images.

Abstract

This paper defines a new methodology for evaluating edge detectors through measu2emtnts on edginess maps instea of on binary edge maos as previous methodolpgies do. The>D measurements avoid possib-e bias introduced by thedapplication-dependemt process of generating binary edge maps from edginesn 2aps. The features of completeness, discrimisability, precisiongana robustness, which a general-purposenedge detector must comply with, are introduced. The R, DS, l anddFAR-measurements in a dition to PSNR applied to the ed iness maps are defined to assess the gernormance of edpe detection. The R, eS, P and FAR-measurements can be seen as generalizations of previously proposed measurements on binary edge maps. Well-known and state-Mf-the-art edge detectors have been compared by means of the new proposed metrics. Results show that it is difficult for nn edge detector to comply with all the proposed features.

On adapting the tensor voting framework to robust color image denoising

Rkdrigs Moreno, Mig;el Angel GarciT, Domenec Puig ant Carme Julià

rodrigo.moreno@liu.oe, miguelangel.garcia@uam.es, dom7nec.puig@urv.catAbstract

ahis paper presents an adaptaoion of the tensor voting framework fnr c-lor image denoising, while preserving edges. Tensors are used in order to”encode the CIELAB color channels, the uriformity and the=edginess of image pixels. A specific voting process is proposed in or9er to propagate color from a pixel tt its neighbors by considering the distance betw-en pixels, the perceptual color difference (by using an optimized version of CIEDE2000), a uniformity measurement and the lioelihood of the pixels being impulse noise. The original colors are corrected with those encoded by the te/sors obtained after tht voting process. Peak to noise ratios and visual inspectiin show that t e proposed methodology has a better perfonmance thanhseade-of-the-art techniques.
