Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel texture classification method based on product Bernoulli distributions (PBD) and contourlet transform. In particular, product Bernoulli distributions (PBD) are employed for modeling the coefficients in each contourlet subband of a texture image. By investigating these bit-plane probabilities (BPs), we use the weighted L1-norm to discriminate the bit-plane probabilities of the corresponding subbands of two texture images and establish a new distance between the two images. Moreover, the K-nearest neighbor classifier is utilized to perform supervised texture classification. It is demonstrated by the experiments that our proposed method outperforms some current state-of-the-art approaches.
