Abstract

Classifying textures is a problem that has been considered by many researchers. Many of the high performance methods are based on extracting features from the textures and performing classification in the feature space. In this paper, we consider the application of a new directional filter bank (DFB) to the problem of texture classification. The DFB is used to provide a compact and efficient representation in which fast classification can be performed using classical statistical methods. The resulting method is shown to yield higher performance than feature-based techniques reported previously. Furthermore, the approach has the added attraction that both the computational complexity and storage requirements are relatively low. Experimental comparisons using the Brodatz texture database are also presented.
