Fractal Descriptors in the Fourier Domain Applied to Color Texture Analysis
The present work proposes the development of a novel method to provide
descriptors for colored texture images. The method consists in two steps. In
the first, we apply a linear transform in the color space of the image aiming
at highlighting spatial structuring relations among the color of pixels. In a
second moment, we apply a multiscale approach to the calculus of fractal
dimension based on Fourier transform. From this multiscale operation, we
extract the descriptors used to discriminate the texture represented in digital
images. The accuracy of the method is verified in the classification of two
color texture datasets, by comparing the performance of the proposed technique
to other classical and state-of-the-art methods for color texture analysis. The
results showed an advantage of almost 3% of the proposed technique over the
second best approach.Comment: Chaos, Volume 21, Issue 4, 201
