Texture recognition by using artificial neural network
This thesis describes the texture recognition by using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). There are hard to understand on how to perform the texture recognition on any new set of image data. Therefore, to ease up the process on texture recognition, ANN has been chosen as the classifier to enhance the process of the texture recognition. There are thirteen types of Brodatz textures are considered as the dataset for this research and five sets for each type texture with different level of histogram equalized, noise for the training dataset. Backpropagation algorithm is one of the methods for the ANN. After the feature is obtained from the dataset, the feature will be trained and classifier by using theBack-propagation algorithm. All in all, this project will tell us how the Back-propagation classifier help in texture recognition and how to increases the success rate in texture recognition
Dynamic texture recognition using time-causal and time-recursive spatio-temporal receptive fields
This work presents a first evaluation of using spatio-temporal receptive
fields from a recently proposed time-causal spatio-temporal scale-space
framework as primitives for video analysis. We propose a new family of video
descriptors based on regional statistics of spatio-temporal receptive field
responses and evaluate this approach on the problem of dynamic texture
recognition. Our approach generalises a previously used method, based on joint
histograms of receptive field responses, from the spatial to the
spatio-temporal domain and from object recognition to dynamic texture
recognition. The time-recursive formulation enables computationally efficient
time-causal recognition. The experimental evaluation demonstrates competitive
performance compared to state-of-the-art. Especially, it is shown that binary
versions of our dynamic texture descriptors achieve improved performance
compared to a large range of similar methods using different primitives either
handcrafted or learned from data. Further, our qualitative and quantitative
investigation into parameter choices and the use of different sets of receptive
fields highlights the robustness and flexibility of our approach. Together,
these results support the descriptive power of this family of time-causal
spatio-temporal receptive fields, validate our approach for dynamic texture
recognition and point towards the possibility of designing a range of video
analysis methods based on these new time-causal spatio-temporal primitives.Comment: 29 pages, 16 figure
Deep filter banks for texture recognition, description, and segmentation
Visual textures have played a key role in image understanding because they
convey important semantics of images, and because texture representations that
pool local image descriptors in an orderless manner have had a tremendous
impact in diverse applications. In this paper we make several contributions to
texture understanding. First, instead of focusing on texture instance and
material category recognition, we propose a human-interpretable vocabulary of
texture attributes to describe common texture patterns, complemented by a new
describable texture dataset for benchmarking. Second, we look at the problem of
recognizing materials and texture attributes in realistic imaging conditions,
including when textures appear in clutter, developing corresponding benchmarks
on top of the recently proposed OpenSurfaces dataset. Third, we revisit classic
texture representations, including bag-of-visual-words and the Fisher vectors,
in the context of deep learning and show that these have excellent efficiency
and generalization properties if the convolutional layers of a deep model are
used as filter banks. We obtain in this manner state-of-the-art performance in
numerous datasets well beyond textures, an efficient method to apply deep
features to image regions, as well as benefit in transferring features from one
domain to another.Comment: 29 pages; 13 figures; 8 table
Binary Patterns Encoded Convolutional Neural Networks for Texture Recognition and Remote Sensing Scene Classification
Designing discriminative powerful texture features robust to realistic
imaging conditions is a challenging computer vision problem with many
applications, including material recognition and analysis of satellite or
aerial imagery. In the past, most texture description approaches were based on
dense orderless statistical distribution of local features. However, most
recent approaches to texture recognition and remote sensing scene
classification are based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The d facto
practice when learning these CNN models is to use RGB patches as input with
training performed on large amounts of labeled data (ImageNet). In this paper,
we show that Binary Patterns encoded CNN models, codenamed TEX-Nets, trained
using mapped coded images with explicit texture information provide
complementary information to the standard RGB deep models. Additionally, two
deep architectures, namely early and late fusion, are investigated to combine
the texture and color information. To the best of our knowledge, we are the
first to investigate Binary Patterns encoded CNNs and different deep network
fusion architectures for texture recognition and remote sensing scene
classification. We perform comprehensive experiments on four texture
recognition datasets and four remote sensing scene classification benchmarks:
UC-Merced with 21 scene categories, WHU-RS19 with 19 scene classes, RSSCN7 with
7 categories and the recently introduced large scale aerial image dataset (AID)
with 30 aerial scene types. We demonstrate that TEX-Nets provide complementary
information to standard RGB deep model of the same network architecture. Our
late fusion TEX-Net architecture always improves the overall performance
compared to the standard RGB network on both recognition problems. Our final
combination outperforms the state-of-the-art without employing fine-tuning or
ensemble of RGB network architectures.Comment: To appear in ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensin
