Tech-tiles: exploring texture
Pages 248 - 251
Abstract
This paper describes the tech-tile project: an exploration of visual and sonic texture enabled by a mapping of textile images into sound. The mapping from a rectangular element (a tile) of an image onto a sonic event is explained, and it is demonstrated that the result gives interesting and distinctive sonic textures and preserves, in part, the visual structure of the image. An entire image can be converted to a single tech-tile, which can be performed as a composition, or a swarm of small tiles can fly over the image, generating a sonic improvisation.

Local binary pattern (LBP) is an effective texture descriptor which has successful applications in texture classification and face recognition. Many extensions are made for conventional LBP descriptors. One of the extensions is dominant local binary ...
Maximally Stable Texture Regions
ICPR '10: Proceedings of the 2010 20th International Conference on Pattern RecognitionIn this study, we propose to detect interest regions based on texture information of images. For this purpose, Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) approach is extended using the high dimensional texture features of image pixels. The regions with ...
