TLDR
In this article, the texture energy approach requires only a few convolutions with small (typically 5x5) integer coefficient masks, followed by a moving-window absolute average operation.Abstract:
A method is presented for classifying each pixel of a textured image, and thus for segmenting the scene. The "texture energy" approach requires only a few convolutions with small (typically 5x5) integer coefficient masks, followed by a moving-window absolute average operation. Normalization by the local mean and standard deviation eliminates the need for histogram equalization. Rotation-invariance can also be achieved by using averages of the texture energy features. The convolution masks are separable, and can be implemented with 1-dimensional (vertical and horizontal) or multipass 3x3 convolutions. Special techniques permit rapid processing on general-purpose digital computers.read more

Fusing iris and periocular information for cross-sensor recognition
TL;DR: The application of well-known iris and periocular recognition strategies based on classical encoding and matching techniques are proposed, as well as demonstrating how they can be combined to overcome the issues associated with mobile environments.

Methods and systems for imaging cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide methods and systems for determining characteristics of cellular structures, including non-invasive, non-perturbing, automatable, and quantitative methods and may be applied to the examination of cells such as stem cells, embryos, and egg cells.

Texture classification using multiresolution Markov random field models
TL;DR: The experimental results show that NLC has much better performance than Nearest Neighbor (NN) as the measurement in MRMRF modeling, and this paper proposes multiresolution MRF (MRMRF) modeling to describe textures.
Patent
Method and system for universal lane boundary detection
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for detecting road markings is presented, which detects road markings (8L1 8R) by detecting lane markings (7L, 7R) in the region of interest, and if lane markings cannot be detected, then detecting road boundaries in the regions of interest.

Textural Features for Image Classification
TL;DR: These results indicate that the easily computable textural features based on gray-tone spatial dependancies probably have a general applicability for a wide variety of image-classification applications.
ReportDOI
Textured Image Segmentation
TL;DR: In this article, texture energy is measured by filtering with small masks, typically 5x5, then with a moving-window average of the absolute image values, leading to a simple class of texture energy transforms, which perform better than any of the preceding methods.
