TLDR
A universal statistical model for texture images in the context of an overcomplete complex wavelet transform is presented, demonstrating the necessity of subgroups of the parameter set by showing examples of texture synthesis that fail when those parameters are removed from the set.Abstract:
We present a universal statistical model for texture images in the context of an overcomplete complex wavelet transform. The model is parameterized by a set of statistics computed on pairs of coefficients corresponding to basis functions at adjacent spatial locations, orientations, and scales. We develop an efficient algorithm for synthesizing random images subject to these constraints, by iteratively projecting onto the set of images satisfying each constraint, and we use this to test the perceptual validity of the model. In particular, we demonstrate the necessity of subgroups of the parameter set by showing examples of texture synthesis that fail when those parameters are removed from the set. We also demonstrate the power of our model by successfully synthesizing examples drawn from a diverse collection of artificial and natural textures.read more

Image Representation by Complex Cell Responses
TL;DR: If the images are band limited and of zero mean, then reconstruction from the magnitudes is unique up to the sign for almost all images, because it makes the representation insensitive to small local shifts.

TL;DR: This work reviews the recent literature on animal camouflage in this light, from experimental studies of texture perception by fish and cephalopod molluscs, to the visual effects used to defeat figure ground segregation of 2-D and 3-D objects in birds and mammals.

Statistical Approaches to Texture Classification
TL;DR: In this article, a low dimensional, rotation and scale invariant filter set is proposed to extract rich features at multiple orientations and scales for texture classification, which is modelled by the frequency distribution of exemplar filter response features.

A Hybrid Algorithm With Artifact Detection Mechanism for Region Filling After Object Removal From a Digital Photograph
TL;DR: The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid region-filling algorithm can achieve a better performance than previous methods and the regular computation of the proposed algorithm is more suitable for implementation of the hardware in a digital camera.

A theory for multiresolution signal decomposition: the wavelet representation
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions 2/sup j+1/ and 2 /sup j/ (where j is an integer) can be extracted by decomposing this signal on a wavelet orthonormal basis of L/sup 2/(R/sup n/), the vector space of measurable, square-integrable n-dimensional functions.

Stochastic Relaxation, Gibbs Distributions, and the Bayesian Restoration of Images
Stuart Geman,Donald Geman +1 more
TL;DR: The analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems is made and the analogous operation under the posterior distribution yields the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the image given the degraded observations, creating a highly parallel ``relaxation'' algorithm for MAP estimation.

Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics. II
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider statistical mechanics as a form of statistical inference rather than as a physical theory, and show that the usual computational rules, starting with the determination of the partition function, are an immediate consequence of the maximum-entropy principle.

Orthonormal bases of compactly supported wavelets
TL;DR: This work construct orthonormal bases of compactly supported wavelets, with arbitrarily high regularity, by reviewing the concept of multiresolution analysis as well as several algorithms in vision decomposition and reconstruction.

Relations between the statistics of natural images and the response properties of cortical cells.
TL;DR: The results obtained with six natural images suggest that the orientation and the spatial-frequency tuning of mammalian simple cells are well suited for coding the information in such images if the goal of the code is to convert higher-order redundancy into first- order redundancy.
