Abstract

Anisotropic, rotation invariant, autoregressive random fields, realised by considering local radial sampling, are flexible models which have been considered for texture classification. Unfortunately, owing to the strong correlations present in the neighbourhood covariate matrix, parameter estimation is complicated by the dichotomy between ill-conditionedness and rotation invariance. Exploiting the Fused Lasso framework, we here propose a compromise which incorporates two regularisers. The @?"1-norm induces stability and performs variable selection amongst strongly correlated radial samples; the total variation seminorm encourages clustering and promotes parsimony. Experiments confirm the potential utility. Parallels are drawn within the texture classification literature and beyond.
