Abstract
This paper presents the comparison of Texture classification algorithms based on Gabor Wavelets. The focus of this paper is on feature extraction scheme for texture classification. The texture feature for an image can be classified using texture descriptors. In this paper we have used Homogeneous texture descriptor that uses Gabor Wavelets concept. For texture classification, we have used online texture database that is Brodatz's database and three advanced well known classifiers: Support Vector Machine, K-nearest neighbor method and decision tree induction method. The results shows that classification using Support vector machines gives better results as compare to the other classifiers. It can accurately discriminate between a testing image data and training data.

An efficient texture classification algorithm using Gabor wavelet
2003
In this paper we have investigated the application of nonseparable Gabor wavelet transform for texture classification. We have compared the effect of applying the dyadic wavelet transform as a traditional method with Gabor wavelet for texture extraction. It is well known that Gabor wavelets attain maximum joint space-frequency resolution which is highly significant in the process of texture extraction in which the conflicting objectives of accuracy in texture representation and texture spatial localization are both important. This fact has been explored in our results as they show that the classification rate obtained for Gabor wavelet is higher that those obtained using dyadic wavelets. Based on our experiments, the Gabor wavelet is more appropriate than dyadic wavelets for texture classification as it leads to a better discrimination of textures.
Supervised Pixel-Based Texture Classification with Gabor Wavelet Filters
2019
This paper proposes an efficient technique for pixel-based texture classification based on multichannel Gabor wavelet filters. The proposed technique is general enough to be applicable to other texture feature extraction methods that also characterize the texture around image pixels through feature vectors. During the training stage, a clustering technique is applied in order to compute a suitable set of prototypes that model every given texture pattern. Multisize evaluation windows are also utilized for improving the accuracy of the classifier near boundaries between regions of different texture. Experimental results with Brodatz compositions show the benefits of the proposed scheme in contrast with alternative approaches in terms of efficiency, memory and classification rates.
Texture classification using Gabor wavelets based rotation invariant features
Pattern Recognition Letters, 2006
Texture based image analysis techniques have been widely employed in the interpretation of earth cover images obtained using remote sensing techniques, seismic trace images, medical images and in query by content in large image data bases. The development in multiresolution analysis such as wavelet transform leads to the development of adequate tools to characterize different scales of textures effectively. But, the wavelet transform lacks in its ability to decompose input image into multiple orientations and this limits their application to rotation invariant image analysis. This paper presents a new approach for rotation invariant texture classification using Gabor wavelets. Gabor wavelets are the mathematical model of visual cortical cells of mammalian brain and using this, an image can be decomposed into multiple scales and multiple orientations. The Gabor function has been recognized as a very useful tool in texture analysis, due to its optimal localization properties in both spatial and frequency domain and found widespread use in computer vision. Texture features are found by calculating the mean and variance of the Gabor filtered image. Rotation normalization is achieved by the circular shift of the feature elements, so that all images have the same dominant direction. The texture similarity measurement of the query image and the target image in the database is computed by minimum distance criterion.
<title>Texture analysis using Gabor wavelets</title>
Human Vision and Electronic Imaging, 1996
Receptive field profiles of simple cells in the visual cortex have been shown to resemble even-symmetric or odd-symmetric Gabor filters. Computational models employed in the analysis of textures have been motivated by two-dimensional Gabor functions arranged in a multi-channel architecture. More recently wavelets have emerged as a powerful tool for non-stationary signal analysis capable of encoding scalespace information efficiently. A multi-resolution implementation in the form of a dyadic decomposition of the signal of interest has been popularized by many researchers. In this paper, Gabor wavelet configured in a 'rosette' fashion is used as a multi-channel filter-bank feature extractor for texture classification. The 'rosette' spans 360 degrees of orientation and covers frequencies from dc. In the proposed algorithm, the texture images are decomposed by the Gabor wavelet configuration and the feature vectors corresponding to the mean of the outputs of the multi-channel filters extracted. A minimum distance classifier is used in the classification procedure. As a comparison the Gabor filter has been used to classify the same texture images from the Brodatz album and the results indicate the superior discriminatory characteristics of the Gabor wavelet. With the test images used it can be concluded that the Gabor wavelet model is a better approximation of the cortical cell receptive field profiles.
Study and Review of Various Image Texture Classification Methods
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2013
Pattern is an arrangement of features which are defined by various characteristics of image such as shape, color and texture. Texture is an important characteristic for image analysis. The major trend of the research today in terms of feature extraction for classification is accuracy oriented, however usually the newer algorithms that promises better accuracy is much more complicated in its calculations and often sacrifices the speed of the algorithm. This paper contains study and review of various techniques used for feature extraction and texture classification. The objective of study is to find technique or combination of techniques to reduce complexity, speed while increasing the accuracy at the same time. Here we are studying and reviewing the three feature extraction methods: Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Gabor filter method. Also two classification methods KNN and SVM are used on the texture datasets Brodatz, CUReT, VisTex and OuTex for the experimental purpose.

International Journal of Computer and Electrical Engineering, 2012
This paper proposes a technique for image texture classification based on cosine-modulated wavelet transform. Better discriminability and low implementation cost of the cosine-modulated wavelets has been effectively utilized to yield better features and more accurate classification results. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on different datasets in three experiments. The proposed approach improves classification rates compared to the traditional Gabor wavelet based approach, rotated wavelet filters based approach, DT-CWT approach and the DLBP approach. The computational cost of the proposed method is less as compared to the other two methods. Index Terms-Texture classification, cosine-modulated wavelets, gabor wavelets. Milind M.

Image Classification by Texture Segmentation using GAF-SVM
ceur-ws.org
Due to the amount of visual information that currently exists, there is a need to classify it properly. In this paper we present an alternative dual method for image categorization according to their texture content defined as GAF-SVM, this method is based in the use of Gabor Filters (GAF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). To perform the image classification we rely on filtering techniques for feature extraction mixed with statistical learning techniques to perform the data separation. The experiments were carried out by taking a set of images containing coastal beach scenes and a set of images containing city scenes. A feature vector is obtained from applying a bank of Gabor Filters to the input images; the output feature space is then used as an input to the SVM Classifier. The Support Vector Machine is responsible for learning a model that is capable of separating the sets of input images. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dual method by getting the error classification rate to near 9%.

Expert Systems With Applications, 2009
Texture can be defined as a local statistical pattern of texture primitives in observer's domain of interest. Texture classification aims to assign texture labels to unknown textures, according to training samples and classification rules. In this paper a novel method, which is an intelligent system for texture classification is introduced. It used a combination of genetic algorithm, discrete wavelet transform and neural network for optimum feature extraction from texture images. An algorithm called the intelligent system, which processes the pattern recognition approximation, is developed. We tested the proposed method with several texture images. The overall success rate is about 95%.
Gabor kernels for textured image representation and classificacion
A Gabor based representation for textured images is proposed. Instead of the ordinary filter bank, a reproducing kernel representation is constructed consisting of a sum of several local reproducing kernels. The image representation coefficients are computed by a basis pursuit procedure, and are then considered as the feature vectors. The feature vectors are used to construct a kernel for a support vector classifier. Results are presented for a set of oriented texture images.

Rotation invariant texture classification using even symmetric Gabor filters
2003
In this paper, we develop a scale invariant texture classification method based on Fuzzy logic. It is applied for the classification of texture images. Texture is a common property of any surface having uncertainty. Two types of texture features are extracted one using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and other using Co-occurrence matrix. Cooccurrence features are obtained using DWT coefficients. Two features are obtained from each sub-band of DWT coefficients upto fifth level of decomposition and eight features are extracted from co-occurrence matrix of whole image and each sub-band of first level DWT decomposition. The fuzzy classification is achieved in two steps, fuzzification step, and rule generation step. The performance is measured in terms of Success Rate. This study showed that the proposed method offers excellent scale invariant texture classification Success Rate. Also wavelet features like standard deviation, combination of energy and standard deviation along with some proposed hybrid feature sets outperform the other feature sets. This success rate is comparatively high when compared with results published earlier.

Artificial Neural Network-Based Texture Classification Using Reduced Multidirectional Gabor Features
In this paper, a technique to classify Engineering Machined Textures (EMT) into the six classes of Turning, Grinding, Horizontal-Milling, Vertical-Milling, Lapping and Shaping, is presented. Multidirectional Gabor features are firstly extracted from each image followed by a dimensionality reduction step using Principal Components Analysis (PCA). The images are finally classified using a supervised Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier. Experimental results using a 72-image dataset demonstrate that PCA is able to reduce computational time while improving classification accuracy. In addition, the use of the proposed Gabor filter shows to be more robust compared to other existing techniques.

Performance Evaluation of Different Techniques for Texture Classification
Computer Science & Information Technology ( CS & IT ), 2012
Texture is the term used to characterize the surface of a given object or phenomenon and is an important feature used in image processing and pattern recognition. Our aim is to compare various Texture analyzing methods and compare the results based on time complexity and accuracy of classification. The project describes texture classification using Wavelet Transform and Co occurrence Matrix. Comparison of features of a sample texture with database of different textures is performed. In wavelet transform we use the Haar, Symlets and Daubechies wavelets. We find that, thee 'Haar' wavelet proves to be the most efficient method in terms of performance assessment parameters mentioned above. Comparison of Haar wavelet and Cooccurrence matrix method of classification also goes in the favor of Haar. Though the time requirement is high in the later method, it gives excellent results for classification accuracy except if the image is rotated.
