Abstract

Gabor filter masks are used to extract succinct feature vectors from natural and synthetic textures. Textures from the Brodatz collection and real images, captured through a CCD camera, are used in the experiment. The results obtained represent a high accuracy of classification for those textures with pronounced orientation. Classification accuracy up to 90% is obtained using 50-fealure vector. A lower classification accuracy is obtained with a 20-feature vector (about 70%), due to the fact that the orientation-space is not finely sampled so as to capture all the possibilities. These results compare well, with results obtained using the same method on computer generated artificial textures.
