Abstract:
This paper presents a robust method of determining the number of texture
segments in an image. We take an
image and decompose it into
blocks. A three-scale two-dimensional discrete wavelet
transform is performed on each
block. For each
block, this transformation produces coefficients for 25
wavelet channels. The energy of each channel is used as a tuple for
a vector in the feature space. Nearest neighbor clustering is used
to segment the feature space. A measure is defined to determine the
"goodness" of the clustering. The optimal number of segments is taken
to be the clustering which maximizes our measure.
