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.

Patch Growing: Object segmentation using spatial coherence of local patches

TL;DR: A novel approach for object segmentation based on the following two steps: oversegment the image in homogeneous regions using a Region Growing algorithm (Bottom-up) and use prior knowledge about the object appearence from annotated images to validate and merge the regions that belong to the object (Top-down).

Convolutional recognition of dynamic textures with preliminary categorization

TL;DR: The proposed method of the DTs recognition includes a preliminary categorization based on the proposed four categories, such as natural particles with periodic movement, natural translucency/transparent non-rigid blobs with randomly changed movement, man-made opaque rigid objects with periodicmovement, and man- made opaque rigid Objects with stationary or chaotic movement.

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.

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.
