Abstract

Texture classification plays an important role in computer vision, and Gabor filtering (GF) is a promising direction of texture classification for its desirable characteristics. However, traditional GF methods are too coarse to achieve satisfactory classification performance. To address this problem, this paper presents an effective texture classification method by combing multi-resolution global and local Gabor features in pyramid space. First, a pyramid space for each image is constructed via upsampling and downsampling to represent the images with different resolutions. Second, GF is applied to each image at different scales and orientations, and then the magnitude and phase components of filtered images are calculated. Third, the global and local Gabor features are extracted, where the global Gabor feature is represented by the mean and variance of the magnitude component, and the local Gabor feature is represented by the joint coding of both magnitude and phase components in a histogram form. Finally, the fusion of global and local Gabor features and the texture classification are implemented in the framework of nearest subspace classifier. Experimental results on CUReT and KTH-TIPS databases demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the performance of GF-based texture classification methods.
