Texture Segmentation
 
Suyash P. Awate, Tolga Tasdizen, Ross T. Whitaker
Unsupervised Texture Segmentation with Nonparametric Neighborhood Statistics
Proc. European Conference on Computer Vision 2006, 2:494-507
 
Key Ideas:
1) a texture image can be defined as a realization of a homogeneous/stationary Markov random field
2) a natural texture descriptor/discriminator is the associated Markov statistics
3) the Markov statistics can be inferred nonparametrically
 
Results

Electron Microscopy Images of the Retina


Wildlife


Two textures with the same histogram and 1st and 2nd derivatives


Textures differing in scale only
