Texture analysis is an active area of research and plays an important role in computer vision applications. Texture, along with color and shape, contains important features of an image. Texture analysis allows to characterize regions inside an image by using descriptors. These descriptors are applied in the study of texture classification, in which the goal is to identify features that characterize a particular texture and assign a label to an image based on these features. Because of the importance of texture analysis in computer vision, researchers are continually devising and developing new descriptors, with the aim to improve the discriminative power of texture features of an image. A difficult task in texture analysis is to compare these descriptors and verify which are the most suitable for each type of image. The lack of a good review and comparison of descriptors cause that some applications do not use the most appropriate descriptor for a specific type of texture. Therefore, in this dissertation it was developed a research and collaboration platform for the analysis and comparison of texture descriptors and texture datasets. The platform aims to support the researchers in the area of texture analysis, specifically in texture classification. The platform was useful to perform an extensive comparison of texture descriptors and various texture datasets. Using the platform, in some datasets the results produced were better than those previously found in the literature. The results indicate that the classification accuracy varies according to the descriptor and classifier employed. By varying the parameters of texture descriptors it was possible to get different, yet better, classification accuracies. / A análise de textura é uma área ativa de pesquisa que desempenha um papel importante em aplicações de visão computacional. A textura, juntamente com a cor e a forma, contém características importantes de uma imagem. A análise de textura permite caracterizar regiões dentro de uma imagem usando descritores. Esses descritores são aplicados no estudo de classificação de texturas, no qual o objetivo é identificar características que distingam uma determinada textura e atribuir um rótulo a uma imagem baseada nessas características. Devido à importância da análise de textura na visão computacional, os pesquisadores estão continuamente criando e desenvolvendo novos descritores, com o objetivo de melhorar o poder discriminativo dessas características em uma imagem. Uma tarefa difícil na análise de textura é comparar esses descritores e verificar quais são os mais adequados para cada tipo de tipo de imagem. A falta de uma boa revisão e comparação de descritores de textura pode fazer com que algumas aplicações não utilizem o descritor mais adequado para um tipo específico de textura. Portanto, nesta dissertação foi desenvolvida uma plataforma de pesquisa e colaboração para a análise e comparação de descritores de textura e conjuntos de dados de textura. A plataforma visa apoiar os pesquisadores na área de análise de textura, especificamente na classificação de texturas. A plataforma foi útil para realizar uma comparação extensiva de descritores de textura e vários conjuntos de dados de textura. Com essa plataforma, em alguns conjuntos de dados os resultados encontrados foram melhores que aqueles encontrados anteriormente na literatura. Os resultados indicam que a acurácia de classificação muda segundo o descritor e o classificador usado. Mudando os valores dos parâmetros dos descritores de textura foi possível obter acurácias diferentes e até melhores.

Η παρούσα διατριβή είχε σαν κύριο στόχο την ανάλυση και επεξεργασία των δεδομένων SAR υπό το πρίσμα του περιεχομένου υφής για την ανίχνευση περιοχών με περιβαλλοντικές αλλοιώσεις όπως είναι οι παράνομες εναποθέσεις απορριμμάτων. Τα δεδομένα που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν προέρχονταν από τον δορυφόρο ENVISAT και το όργανο ASAR του Ευρωπαϊκού Οργανισμού Διαστήματος με διακριτική ικανότητα 12.5m και 30m για τις λειτουργίες μονής και διπλής πολικότητας αντίστοιχα καθώς και από τον δορυφόρο Terra-SAR με διακριτική ικανότητα 3m και HH πολικότητα. Χρησιμοποιήθηκαν κλασσικές τεχνικές ανάλυσης και ταξινόμησης υφής όπως GLCM, Markov Random Fields, Gabor Filters και Neural Networks. Η μελέτη προσανατολίστηκε στην ανάπτυξη νέων μεθόδων ταξινόμησης υφής για αυξημένη αποτελεσματικότητα. Χρησιμοποιήθηκαν δεδομένα πολυφασματικά και SAR. Για τα πολυφασματικά δεδομένα προτάθηκε η χρήση της spectral co-occurrence ως χαρακτηριστικό υφής που χρησιμοποιεί πληροφορία φασματικού περιεχομένου. Για τα δεδομένα SAR αναπτύχθηκε μία νέα μέθοδος ταξινόμησης η οποία βασίζεται σε συνήθεις περιγραφείς υφής (GLCM, Gabor, MRF) οι οποίοι μελετώνται για την ικανότητά τους να διαχωρίζουν ζεύγη μεταξύ τάξεων. Για κάθε ζεύγος τάξεων προκύπτουν χαρακτηριστικά υφής που βασίζονται στις στατιστικές ιδιότητες της cumulative καθώς και της πρώτης και δεύτερης τάξης αυτής. Η μέθοδος leave one out χρησιμοποιείται για τον εντοπισμό των χαρακτηριστικών που μπορούν να διαχωρίσουν τα δείγματα ανά ζεύγη τάξεων στα οποία αντιστοιχίζεται και ένας ξεχωριστός και ανεξάρτητος γραμμικός ταξινομητής. Η τελική ταξινόμηση γίνεται με τη μέθοδο της πλειοψηφίας η οποία εφαρμόζεται στο πρόβλημα των δύο τάξεων και τριών τάξεων αλλά επεκτείνεται και στο πρόβλημα των N-τάξεων δεδομένης της ύπαρξης κατάλληλων χαρακτηριστικών. / Texture characteristics of MERIS data based on the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) are explored as far as their classification capabilities are concerned. Classification is employed in order to reveal four different land cover types, namely: water, forest, field and urban areas. The classification performance for each cover type is studied separately on each spectral band, while the combined performance of the most promising spectral bands is explored. In addition to GLCM, spectral co-occurrence matrices (SCM) formed by measuring the transition from band-to-band are employed for improving classification results. Conventional classifiers and voting techniques are used for the classification stage. Furthermore, the properties of texture characteristics are explored on various types of grayscale or RGB representations of the multispectral data, obtained by means of principal components analysis (PCA), non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and information theory. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed classification approach is compared with that of the minimum distance classifier. A simple and effective classification method is furthermore proposed for remote sensed data that is based on a majority voting schema. We propose a feature selection procedure for exhaustive search of occurrence measures resulting from fundamental textural descriptors such as Co-occurrence matrices, Gabor filters and Markov Random Fields. In the proposed method occurrence measures, that are named texture densities, are reduced to the local cumulative function of the texture representation and only those that can linearly separate pairs of classes are used in the classification stage, thus ensuring high classification accuracy and reliability. Experiments performed on SAR data of high resolution and on a Brodatz texture database have given more than 90% classification accuracy with reliability above 95%.

Resultados anteriores presentes na literatura, indicaram que o MSLMP conseguiu resultados superiores aos mencionados anteriormente. Neste trabalho propõe-se uma análise mais abrangente sobre sua viabilidade para concluir que o MSLMP é mais eficaz que os anteriores. Essa análise é feita alterando-se a Matriz de Pesos para os pixels limiarizados. Para avaliar seu desempenho, foi utilizada a base de texturas do Album de Brodatz. Após processá-la pelo descritor MSLMP, com cada uma das matrizes de Pesos propostas neste trabalho, foram comparadas as taxas de acertos alcançadas usando a distância Chi-quadrado.

Previous results present in the literature, indicated that the MSLMP achieved better results than those mentioned above. This work proposes a more comprehensive analysis of its feasibility to conclude that this descriptor is more effective than the others. This analysis is done by changing the weight matrix for the thresholding pixels. To evaluate its performance, it was used the texture base of the Brodatz album. After processing it by the descriptor MSLMP with each of the weights matrices proposed in this work, the achieved hit rates were compared by using the distance Chi-square. Experimental results show a better sensitivity value for MSLMP descriptor in comparison of other descriptors present in the literature. / CNPq: 131632/2014-0

Cette thèse porte sur des canevas méthodologiques paramétriques pour la modélisation de champs de tenseurs de structure locaux (TSL) calculés sur des images texturées. Estimé en chaque pixel, le tenseur de structure permet la caractérisation de la géométrie d’une image texturée à travers des mesures d’orientation et d’anisotropie locales. Matrices symétriques semi-définies positives, les tenseurs de structure ne peuvent pas être manipulés avec les outils classiques de la géométrie euclidienne. Deux canevas statistiques riemanniens, reposant respectivement sur les espaces métriques a ne invariant (AI) et log-euclidien (LE), sont étudiés pour leur représentation. Dans chaque cas, un modèle de distribution gaussienne et de mélange associé sont considérés pour une analyse statistique. Des algorithmes d’estimation de leurs paramètres sont proposés ainsi qu’une mesure de dissimilarité. Les modèles statistiques proposés sont tout d’abord considérés pour décrire des champs de TSL calculés sur des images texturées. Les modèles AI et LE sont utilisés pour décrire des distributions marginales de TSL tandis que les modèles LE sont étendus afin de décrire des distributions jointes de TSL et de caractériser des dépendances spatiales et multi-échelles. L’ajustement des modèles théoriques aux distributions empiriques de TSL est évalué de manière expérimentale sur un ensemble de textures composées d’un spectre assez large de motifs structuraux. Les capacités descriptives des modèles statistiques proposés sont ensuite éprouvées à travers deux applications. Une première application concerne la reconnaissance de texture sur des images de télédétection très haute résolution et sur des images de matériaux carbonés issues de la microscopie électronique à transmission haute résolution. Dans la plupart des cas, les performances des approches proposées sont supérieures à celles obtenues par les méthodes de l’état de l’art. Sur l’espace LE, les modèles joints pour la caractérisation des dépendances spatiales au sein d’un champ de TSL améliorent légèrement les résultats des modèles opérant uniquement sur les distributions marginales. La capacité intrinsèque des méthodes basées sur le tenseur de structure à prendre en considération l’invariance à la rotation, requise dans beaucoup d’applications portant sur des textures anisotropes, est également démontrée de manière expérimentale. Une deuxième application concerne la synthèse de champs de TSL. A cet e et, des approches mono-échelle ainsi que des approches pyramidales multi-échelles respectant une hypothèse markovienne sont proposées. Les expériences sont effectuées à la fois sur des champs de TSL simulés et sur des champs de TSL calculés sur des textures réelles. Efficientes dans quelques configurations et démontrant d’un potentiel réel de description des modèles proposés, les expériences menées montrent également une grande sensibilité aux choix des paramètres qui peut s’expliquer par des instabilités d’estimation sur des espaces de grande dimension. / This thesis proposes and evaluates parametric frameworks for modelling local structure tensor (LST) fields computed on textured images. A texture’s underlying geometry is described in terms of orientation and anisotropy, estimated in each pixel by the LST. Defined as symmetric non-negative definite matrices, LSTs cannot be handled using the classical tools of Euclidean geometry. In this work, two complete Riemannian statistical frameworks are investigated to address the representation of symmetric positive definite matrices. They rely on the a ne-invariant (AI) and log-Euclidean (LE) metric spaces. For each framework, a Gaussian distribution and its corresponding mixture models are considered for statistical modelling. Solutions for parameter estimation are provided and parametric dissimilarity measures between statistical models are proposed as well. The proposed statistical frameworks are first considered for characterising LST fields computed on textured images. Both AI and LE models are first employed to handle marginal LST distributions. Then, LE models are extended to describe joint LST distributions with the purpose of characterising both spatial and multiscale dependencies. The theoretical models’ fit to empirical LST distributions is experimentally assessed for a texture set composed of a large diversity of patterns. The descriptive potential of the proposed statistical models are then assessed in two applications. A first application consists of texture recognition. It deals with very high resolution remote sensing images and carbonaceous material images issued from high resolution transmission electron microscopy technology. The LST statistical modelling based approaches for texture characterisation outperform, in most cases, the state of the art methods. Competitive texture classification performances are obtained when modelling marginal LST distributions on both AI and LE metric spaces. When modelling joint LST distributions, a slight gain in performance is obtained with respect to the case when marginal distributions are modelled. In addition, the LST based methods’ intrinsic ability to address the rotation invariance prerequisite that arises in many classification tasks dealing with anisotropic textures is experimentally validated as well. In contrast, state of the art methods achieve a rather pseudo rotation invariance. A second application concerns LST field synthesis. To this purpose, monoscale and multiscale pyramidal approaches relying on a Markovian hypothesis are developed. Experiments are carried out on toy LST field examples and on real texture LST fields. The successful synthesis results obtained when optimal parameter configurations are employed, are a proof of the real descriptive potential of the proposed statistical models. However, the experiments have also shown a high sensitivity to the parameters’ choice, that may be due to statistical inference limitations in high dimensional spaces.

A inspeção visual automática é uma tarefa importante para a produtividade industrial. Ela pode ser aplicada em controle de qualidade para substituir operadores humanos em trabalhos perigosos ou repetitivos. O estágio de classificação em controle de qualidade da produção industrial é freqüentemente baseado no conhecimento humano. Portanto, torna-se importante alimentar um sistema visual automático com dados nebulosos ou ambíguos. Um sistema \"neuro-fuzy\" é uma forma adequada de implementar isto. O trabalho contribui na área tecnológica de inspeção visual com o desenvolvimento de uma nova abordagem para avaliação da qualidade de placas de madeira utilizadas na fabricação de lápis. Outra contribuição foi a divisão do vetor de características, fazendo com que cada característica específica seja tratada em uma rede neural própria. O método é baseado em duas redes neurais, cada uma tratando com apenas uma característica de entrada. Os resultados das redes neurais são combinados através de lógica nebulosa (\"fuzzy) fornecendo um sistema com maior poder discriminante do que aqueles que utilizam métodos tradicionais. O sistema se caracteriza por ser ágil, repetitivo, com um padrão de classificação definido e por possuir baixo custo. / Automatic visual inspection is an important task for industrial productivity. It could be applied for quality control or for replacing manual work under dangerous or repetitive activity. The classification stage in quality control of the industrial production is often based on the human knowledge. It seems, therefore, to be a great concern to supply an automated visual inspection system with fuzzy or ambiguous data. The Neuro-Fuzzy system is a good way to do this. The objective of this work is to develop a new approach for the classification of wooden plates used in the pencil production. This new method is based on two neural networks, each one working with just an input feature. The results of neural networks are combined through fuzzy logic giving the system a greater discriminating power than those that use traditional methods. The proposed method is characterized by being agile, repetitive, with a defined classification pattern and having low cost.

L'analyse de texture a été largement étudiée dans la littérature et une grande variété de descripteurs de texture ont été proposés. Parmi ceux-ci, les motifs binaires locaux (LBP) occupent une part importante dans la plupart des applications d'imagerie couleur ou de reconnaissance de formes et sont particulièrement exploités dans les problèmes d'analyse de texture. Généralement, les images couleurs acquises sont représentées dans l'espace colorimétrique RGB. Cependant, il existe de nombreux espaces couleur pour la classification des textures, chacun ayant des propriétés spécifiques qui impactent les performances. Afin d'éviter la difficulté de choisir un espace pertinent, la stratégie multi-espace couleur permet d'utiliser simultanémentles propriétés de plusieurs espaces. Toutefois, cette stratégie conduit à augmenter le nombre d'attributs, notamment lorsqu'ils sont extraits de LBP appliqués aux images couleur. Ce travail de recherche est donc axé sur la réduction de la dimension de l'espace d'attributs générés à partir de motifs binaires locaux par des méthodes de sélection d'attributs. Dans ce cadre, nous considérons l'histogramme des LBP pour la représentation des textures couleur et proposons des approches conjointes de sélection de bins et d'histogrammes multi-espace pour la classification supervisée de textures. Les nombreuses expériences menées sur des bases de référence de texture couleur, démontrent que les approches proposées peuvent améliorer les performances en classification comparées à l'état de l'art. / Texture analysis has been extensively studied and a wide variety of description approaches have been proposed. Among them, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) takes an essential part of most of color image analysis and pattern recognition applications. Usually, devices acquire images and code them in the RBG color space. However, there are many color spaces for texture classification, each one having specific properties. In order to avoid the difficulty of choosing a relevant space, the multi color space strategy allows using the properties of several spaces simultaneously. However, this strategy leads to increase the number of features extracted from LBP applied to color images. This work is focused on the dimensionality reduction of LBP-based feature selection methods. In this framework, we consider the LBP histogram and bin selection approaches for supervised texture classification. Extensive experiments are conducted on several benchmark color texture databases. They demonstrate that the proposed approaches can improve the state-of-the-art results.

This thesis study employs textural classification techniques applied to four different data groups: (1) visible light photography, (2) high-resolution drill core line scan imaging (3) scanning electron microscopy backscattered electron (SEM-BSE) images, and (4) 3D data from X-ray microtomography (μXCT). Eleven textural classes from Aitik ores were identified and characterized. The distinguishing characteristics of each class were determined such as modal mineralogy, sulphide occurrence and Bond work indices (BWI). The textural classes served as a basis for machine learning classification using Random Forest classifier and different feature extraction schemes. Trainable Weka Segmentation was utilized to produce mineral maps for the different image datasets. Quantified textural information for each mineral phase such as modal mineralogy, mineral association index and grain size was extracted from each mineral map.  Efficient line local binary patterns provide the best discriminating features for textural classification of mineral texture images in terms of classification accuracy. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) statistics from discrete approximation of Meyer wavelets decomposition with basic image statistical features[PK1]  (e.g. mean, standard deviation, entropy and histogram derived values) give the best classification result in terms of accuracy and feature extraction time. Differences in the extracted modal mineralogy were observed between the drill core photographs and SEM images which can be attributed to different sample size[PK2] . Comparison of SEM images and 2D μXCT image slice shows minimal difference giving confidence to the segmentation process. However, chalcopyrite is highly underestimated in 2D μXCT image slice, with the volume percentage amounting to only half of the calculated value for the whole 3D sample. This is accounted as stereological error. Textural classification and mineral map production from basic drill core photographs has a huge potential to be used as an inexpensive ore characterization tool. However, it should be noted that this technique requires experienced operators to generate an accurate training data especially for mineral identification and thus, detailed mineralogical studies beforehand is required. / Primary Resource Efficiency by Enhanced Prediction (PREP) / Center for Advanced Mining and Metallurgy (CAMM)

Abstract Local binary patterns (LBP) are among the most popular image description methods and have been successfully applied in a diverse set of computer vision problems, covering texture classification, material categorization, face recognition, and image segmentation, to name only a few. The popularity of the LBP methodology can be verified by inspecting the number of existing studies about its different variations and extensions. The number of those studies is vast. Currently, the methodology has been acknowledged as one of the milestones in face recognition research. The starting point of this research is to gain more understanding of which principles the original LBP descriptor is based on. After gaining some degree of insight, yet another try is made to improve some steps of the LBP pipeline, consisted of image pre-processing, pattern sampling, pattern encoding, binning, and further histogram post-processing. The main contribution of this thesis is a bunch of novel LBP extensions that partly try to unify some of the existing derivatives and extensions. The basis for the design of the new additional LBP methodology is to maximise data-driven premises, at the same time minimizing the need for tuning by hand. Prior to local binary pattern extraction, the thesis presents an image upsampling step dubbed as image pre-interpolation. As a natural consequence of upsampling, a greater number of patterns can be extracted and binned to a histogram improving the representational performance of the final descriptor. To improve the following two steps of the LBP pipeline, namely pattern sampling and encoding, three different learning-based methods are introduced. Finally, a unifying model is presented for the last step of the LBP pipeline, namely for local binary pattern histogram post-processing. As a special case of this, a novel histogram smoothing scheme is proposed, which shares the motivation and the effects with the image pre-interpolation for the most of its part. Deriving descriptors for such face recognition problems as face verification or age estimation has been and continues to be among the most popular domains where LBP has ever been applied. This study is not an exception in that regard as the main investigations and conclusions here are made on the basis of how the proposed LBP variations perform especially in the problems of face recognition. The experimental part of the study demonstrates that the proposed methods, experimentally validated using publicly available texture and face datasets, yield results comparable to the best performing LBP variants found in the literature, reported with the corresponding benchmarks. / Tiivistelmä Paikalliset binäärikuviot kuuluvat suosituimpiin menetelmiin kuville suoritettavassa piirteenirrotuksessa. Menetelmää on sovellettu moniin konenäön ongelmiin, kuten tekstuurien luokittelu, materiaalien luokittelu, kasvojen tunnistus ja kuvien segmentointi. Menetelmän suosiota kuvastaa hyvin siitä kehitettyjen erilaisten johdannaisten suuri lukumäärä ja se, että nykyään kyseinen menetelmien perhe on tunnustettu yhdeksi virstanpylvääksi kasvojentunnistuksen tutkimusalueella. Tämän tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on ymmärtää periaatteita, joihin tehokkaimpien paikallisten binäärikuvioiden suorituskyky perustuu. Tämän jälkeen tavoitteena on kehittää parannuksia menetelmän eri askelille, joita ovat kuvan esikäsittely, binäärikuvioiden näytteistys ja enkoodaus, sekä histogrammin koostaminen ja jälkikäsittely. Esiteltävien uusien menetelmien lähtökohtana on hyödyntää mahdollisimman paljon kohdesovelluksesta saatavaa tietoa automaattisesti. Ensimmäisenä menetelmänä esitellään kuvan ylösnäytteistykseen perustuva paikallisten binäärikuvioiden johdannainen. Ylösnäytteistyksen luonnollisena seurauksena saadaan näytteistettyä enemmän binäärikuvioita, jotka histogrammiin koottuna tekevät piirrevektorista alkuperäistä erottelevamman. Seuraavaksi esitellään kolme oppimiseen perustuvaa menetelmää paikallisten binäärikuvioiden laskemiseksi ja niiden enkoodaukseen. Lopuksi esitellään paikallisten binäärikuvioiden histogrammin jälkikäsittelyn yleistävä malli. Tähän malliin liittyen esitellään histogrammin silottamiseen tarkoitettu operaatio, jonka eräs tärkeimmistä motivaatioista on sama kuin kuvan ylösnäytteistämiseen perustuvalla johdannaisella. Erilaisten piirteenirrotusmenetelmien kehittäminen kasvojentunnistuksen osa-alueille on erittäin suosittu paikallisten binäärikuvioiden sovellusalue. Myös tässä työssä tutkittiin miten kehitetyt johdannaiset suoriutuvat näissä osa-ongelmissa. Tutkimuksen kokeellinen osuus ja siihen liittyvät numeeriset tulokset osoittavat, että esitellyt menetelmät ovat vertailukelpoisia kirjallisuudesta löytyvien parhaimpien paikallisten binäärikuvioiden johdannaisten kanssa.

Ultrasound imaging is widely used in medical examination. However, the interpretation of images is not trivial and requires much experience. In this thesis, various techniques for enhancement of visual quality of ultrasound images are presented. Several basic and advanced methods that may simplify the visual diagnosis are described. Finally, an interactive application is designed and implemented for simple usage of presented methods.

Aim of this project is to evaluate effectivity of various texture features within the context of image processing, particulary the task of texture recognition and classification. My work focuses on comparing and discussion of usage and efficiency of texture features based on local binary patterns and co- ccurence matrices. As classification algorithm is concerned, cluster analysis was choosen.
