Abstract

In this paper, we present a simple but effective algorithm for the extraction of perceptual hue feature set used in color image/video segmentation with emphasis on color textures. Feature extraction, with significant impact on the overall image/video analysis process, plays a critical role in classification-based segmentation. Color textures are accurately characterized by the newly introduced feature set with invariance to illumination, translation, and rotation, which is contributed by the statistical scheme in exploring the distribution of six rudimentary colors and the achromatic component at local positions. The feature set provides characteristic information and enables segmentation that is more meaningful than the recently published works do.
