Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework to carry out supervised classification of images containing both textured and non textured areas. Our approach is based on active contours. Using a decomposition algorithm inspired by the recent work of Y. Meyer, we can get two channels from the original image to classify: one containing the geometrical information, and the other the texture. Using the logic framework by Chan and Sandberg, we can then combine the information from both channels in a user definable way. Thus, we design a classification algorithm in which the different classes are characterized both from geometrical and textured features. Moreover, the user can choose different ways to combine information.
