A Comparison of Spatial Pattern Spectra

  • Conference paper
Mathematical Morphology and Its Application to Signal and Image Processing (ISMM 2009)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 5720))

Abstract

Pattern spectra have frequently been used in image analysis. A drawback is that they are not sensitive to changes in spatial distribution of features. Various methods have been proposed to address this problem. In this paper we compare several of these on both texture classification and image retrieval. Results show that Size Density Spectra are most versatile, and least sensitive to parameter settings.
