Abstract

This paper proposes the use of information derived from the graph of a texture image function for texture description. The graph of an image function is a rumpled surface in the three-dimensional space that appears like a landscape. Four novel texture feature curves are used to characterize the texture. This method is named Statistical Landscape Features (SLF). SLF achieves a very high correct classification rate of 94.53% on the entire Brodatz set. Besides the very good performance, another remarkable advantage of the proposed method is that it has no parameter to tune.
